The area, not just the school
Living in Frankfort feels like getting the best of two worlds. The village's historic downtown is the heart of it all, anchored by the restored Frankfort Grainery, the open lawn of Breidert Green, and a walkable stretch of shops and restaurants that fill up for the long-running Frankfort Fall Festival. Running right through it is the Old Plank Road Trail, a paved 22-mile recreation path that lets you bike or walk from the middle of town out into open country, and it is one of the features residents cite most when they talk about why they love it here.
Commuters have real options. Frankfort sits about 28 miles southwest of downtown Chicago, with Metra service nearby on the SouthWest Service and Rock Island lines through neighboring communities, plus easy reach to US 30 (Lincoln Highway) and US 45 (La Grange Road), which cross right in the middle of the village, and Interstate 80 just to the north. That combination of small-town pace and big-city access is a big part of the draw.
The housing here leans toward spacious single-family homes on generous lots, in a community where most households are married couples and median household income is well into six figures. Frankfort is the kind of place where people buy with the long game in mind: established neighborhoods, mature trees, and the pull of a top-rated school district keep families here through the school years and beyond.

The school
About Lincoln-Way East High School
Lincoln-Way East traces its roots to a 1974 bond issue that funded a freshman-sophomore building on the Frankfort site, which opened in 1977 as Lincoln-Way High School East Campus. A 1997 referendum split the old campus setup into two separate four-year high schools, a change that took effect for the 2001-02 school year, when the East Campus became Lincoln-Way East High School. The school is part of Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, which at its peak ran four high schools before Lincoln-Way North closed at the end of the 2015-16 school year, leaving today's three-school district of Central, West, and East.
Lincoln-Way East has a long record of strong academics. In October 2025 it was named one of just 15 public schools in Illinois to receive the Governor's Blue Ribbon Award for academic achievement. The school enrolls a large share of students in Advanced Placement and dual-credit coursework and has posted a four-year graduation rate around 97 percent.
The Griffins compete in the SouthWest Suburban Conference and field one of the most decorated athletic programs in the south suburbs, with state championships across football, boys gymnastics, girls track and field, boys volleyball, and softball, plus a long run of competitive cheer titles. The football team won three state titles and reached the Class 8A final again in both 2022 and 2023.
