Living near Elk Grove HS
The area, not just the school
Living around Elk Grove Village puts you in one of the northwest suburbs' most quietly convenient pockets. The big green anchor here is Busse Woods, the Ned Brown Forest Preserve, a sprawling 3,700-acre preserve with a paved bike loop, a fishing lake, and even a small elk pen that gives the village its name. On a Saturday morning you will see neighbors out walking, biking, and paddling well before the rest of the suburbs wake up.
The housing stock leans toward solid mid-century ranches and split-levels on generous, mature-tree lots, plus pockets of newer townhomes, so first-time buyers and downsizers both find a fit. O'Hare International Airport sits just minutes east, which is a real draw for frequent flyers and the many residents who work in the surrounding business park, one of the largest industrial and corporate parks in the country.
Commuters get quick access to I-90 and I-290 and Metra service nearby, putting downtown Chicago within reach. It is a practical, settled, working-family kind of town: green space out the back door, jobs and the airport out the front.

The school
About Elk Grove High School
Elk Grove High School opened in 1966, originally serving students from the older Elk Grove Village area along with a small Des Plaines section of the district. When nearby Forest View High School closed in 1986, a portion of its students transferred to Elk Grove, and enrollment jumped from roughly 1,300 in 1985-86 to just over 2,200 by 1987-88. The school shares its original architectural layout with Wheeling High School, and later additions include a natatorium built in 2004 and dedicated science and math wings.
Elk Grove High School and its parent district, Township High School District 214, offer a broad slate of college-level coursework, with the school providing dozens of Advanced Placement and dual-credit options that let students earn college credit while still in high school. The school also offers career-focused pathways, such as a two-year Certified Nursing Assistant course, alongside its traditional academic and fine-arts programs.
The Elk Grove Grenadiers compete in the Mid-Suburban League under the IHSA, fielding teams across baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, gymnastics, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling. The school's signature state success came in girls basketball, which won the IHSA Class AA state championship in 1981.
