The area, not just the school
Glen Ellyn is one of those western suburbs that feels settled in the best way. Roughly 24 miles due west of downtown Chicago, the village grew up around its rail depot in the 1800s, and you can still feel that history at Stacy's Tavern, the 1846 stagecoach inn, and along the brick sidewalks of the historic downtown. The walkable village center is full of independent shops, coffeehouses, and restaurants, anchored by the Glen Art Theatre, and the calendar fills out with traditions like the Fourth of July parade and fireworks over Lake Ellyn.
Commuting is one of the area's quiet advantages. The Glen Ellyn Metra station sits right in the heart of downtown on the Union Pacific West Line, putting riders about 22 miles from Ogilvie Transportation Center, so a car-free trip into the Loop is genuinely realistic. For drivers, Roosevelt Road on the east side connects to Interstate 355, and the Illinois Prairie Path cuts straight through the village for cyclists and runners who would rather skip the road entirely.
Day to day, this is a green, family-oriented place. The Glen Ellyn Park District runs 30 parks plus Lake Ellyn and its boathouse, Sunset Pool, and the Ackerman Sports and Fitness Center, and the College of DuPage main campus brings cultural programming and the McAninch Arts Center to town. Housing leans toward established neighborhoods with mature trees, a healthy mix of vintage homes near downtown and the lake and larger postwar and newer construction farther out. It is the kind of community people move to and stay in.

The school
About Glenbard South High School
Glenbard South opened in 1972 as the fourth and smallest of the four high schools in Glenbard Township High School District 87, the district name itself a blend of Glen Ellyn and Lombard. The school sits on a 43-acre suburban campus on Butterfield Road and draws its students primarily from the area served by Community Consolidated School District 89. Originally a charter member of the Western Sun Conference, Glenbard South became independent when that conference dissolved in 2010, spent several seasons in the Metro Suburban Conference, and joined the Upstate Eight Conference in 2018.
Glenbard South offers a broad college-preparatory program with more than 20 Advanced Placement courses spanning Calculus AB and BC, Biology, Chemistry, Physics C, Computer Science, English, U.S. and European History, Psychology, and several world languages, along with dual-credit courses in English, mathematics, speech, horticulture, and entrepreneurship. The school maintains an open-access AP policy: 74 percent of the Class of 2024 took at least one AP course, students sat 894 AP exams, and 67 percent of those exams earned a 3 or higher. The Class of 2024 averaged a 1,058 SAT.
Glenbard South competes in the Upstate Eight Conference as the Raiders. The program's signature run came in girls' softball, which captured back-to-back IHSA Class 3A state championships in 2012 and 2013. The boys' cross-country team won the Class AA state championship in the 2001-02 season, and in 2007 the boys' 4x800-meter relay won the Nike Outdoor Nationals. Raiders teams have also seen broad co-curricular success, including state titles in mock trial.

The questions buyers actually ask
Glenbard South HS FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping the Glenbard South HS district. If yours isn't here, text 224-385-8779, same-day reply.
- Which high school district serves Glen Ellyn, and where does Glenbard South fit in?
- Glen Ellyn high schoolers attend Glenbard Township High School District 87, one of the largest high school districts in Illinois. The district runs four comprehensive high schools, and Glenbard South in Glen Ellyn is the smallest of the four. Both Glenbard South and Glenbard West are located in Glen Ellyn, so the right school depends on your specific address.
- What feeder schools and neighborhoods send students to Glenbard South?
- Glenbard South largely serves students from the area within Community Consolidated School District 89, which includes parts of Glen Ellyn and neighboring communities. Because two Glenbard high schools sit in Glen Ellyn, attendance can come down to which side of a boundary a home falls on, so always confirm the assigned high school for a specific property with the district before you buy.
- What kind of homes are around Glenbard South and Glen Ellyn?
- The area offers a wide mix, from vintage and historic homes near downtown and Lake Ellyn to larger postwar and newer-construction houses farther out. You will find everything from walkable in-town options to roomier lots on the edges of the district.
- How is the commute to Chicago from this area?
- Strong. The Glen Ellyn Metra station on the Union Pacific West Line is right in the downtown and runs roughly 22 miles to Ogilvie Transportation Center in the city, making a car-free commute realistic. Drivers can reach Interstate 355 via Roosevelt Road on the east side of the village.
- How does the homes-in-district listing filter work on this page?
- The filter shows active listings whose location falls inside the school's current attendance area so you can browse homes most likely to feed Glenbard South.
