The area, not just the school
Rogers Park sits at the very top of Chicago's North Side, about nine miles up the lakefront from the Loop, right where the city meets Evanston. What sets it apart is the water. Rogers Park has more public beaches than any other Chicago neighborhood, a string of them running along Lake Michigan, so on a summer afternoon you can walk a few blocks from a leafy residential street and put your feet in the sand. Loyola Park and Loyola Beach anchor the shoreline with walking paths and open green space, and the presence of Loyola University Chicago on the southeast edge keeps the area energetic and full of coffee shops and small restaurants.
It is also one of the most genuinely diverse places in Chicago. Local coverage has called it the community that most closely mirrors the city's overall makeup, and you will hear many languages spoken along Devon, Clark, and Morse. That mix shows up in the food, the shops, and the street life. For buyers, the housing stock is a big part of the appeal: classic 1920s courtyard apartment buildings, sturdy vintage condos, greystones, and two-flats, much of it walkable and close to the lake.
Getting around is easy without a car. Rogers Park is served by three CTA rail lines, the Red, Purple, and Yellow, with Red Line stops at Howard, Jarvis, Morse, and Loyola, plus Metra service, so a commute downtown or up to the north suburbs is straightforward. It is the kind of neighborhood where people put down roots because it feels like a real community, close to the water, close to transit, and open to everyone.

The school
About Roger C. Sullivan High School
Sullivan High School opened in 1926 and is named for the Chicago businessman and Illinois politician Roger Charles Sullivan. It began as a junior high under the Chicago Board of Education, then became a traditional four-year high school when the city phased out its junior high schools in 1933. In the 2010s the school became nationally known for welcoming a large number of refugee and immigrant students, and by 2017 roughly 45 percent of its students were foreign-born, arriving from 38 different countries. That same year Chicago Public Schools designated Sullivan a newcomer center, and the school today runs a Newcomer Academy for students in grades 9 through 12 who have recently arrived in the United States, work that earned it the affectionate nickname Refugee High.
Sullivan offers a rigorous academic program alongside specialized pathways, including dual-credit courses through the City Colleges of Chicago, an Allied Health and Medical Honors career academy, a Business and Finance academy, and an Army JROTC program. As a smaller neighborhood high school, it emphasizes individualized instruction for a diverse student body and runs a Newcomer Academy that pairs core academics with intensive English language development.
Sullivan's teams, the Tigers, compete in the Chicago Public League and the Illinois High School Association. The boys soccer team were regional champions and sectional finalists in 2016 and 2017, the girls basketball team were regional champions in the 2008-09 season, and the boys track and field team were Public League champions in the 1938-39 season. The school's refugee-heavy soccer program has been the subject of documentary coverage.
