The area, not just the school
Living in the Warren Township High School area means setting down roots in Gurnee, a village of about 31,000 in northern Lake County that sits roughly 40 miles north of Chicago and 50 miles south of Milwaukee. Interstate 94, the Tri-State Tollway, runs right through town and is the spine of daily life here, so a Loop commute, an O'Hare run, or a weekend up to Milwaukee all start the same way: a short drive to the on-ramp. Gurnee is a regional destination, home to Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor, the sprawling Gurnee Mills outlet mall, and the Great Wolf Lodge resort, which together translate into an unusually deep bench of shopping, dining, and entertainment minutes from the front door.
The village is split by I-94 into an older east side and a newer west side, with neighborhoods ranging from established subdivisions to newer-construction pockets, plus parks, the Des Plaines River corridor, and the well-regarded Warren-Newport Public Library. Families are drawn by the feeder pattern: elementary and middle grades run through Gurnee District 56 on the east side and Woodland District 50 on the west, then everyone converges on Warren Township High School for grades 9 through 12. Housing here skews toward single-family homes built for families.
On the commute side, plan around the car. Pace buses connect Gurnee to Waukegan, Grayslake, and other Lake County hubs, but there is no Metra station inside Gurnee itself. The closest Metra Milwaukee District North line stops are in nearby Grayslake and Round Lake, a short drive west, giving rail commuters a one-seat ride into Chicago Union Station. Between the Metra option to the west and I-94 to the east, the Warren area gives you real flexibility for getting into the city while keeping you close to the parks, malls, and lakefront that make this corner of Lake County so well known.

The school
About Warren Township High School
Warren Township High School District 121 was formed in 1917, and its first one-floor building on O'Plaine Road opened in the fall of 1918 with 57 pupils. Additions followed across the 1920s through the 1970s. On December 20, 1984, fire destroyed the high school building, and students relocated to a Lake Forest campus from January 1985 until the school was rebuilt on its original site and reopened in August 1987. As enrollment kept climbing, a second campus, the Almond Campus, opened in 1997 for juniors and seniors, about 4.5 miles from the original O'Plaine Campus. In the 1999-2000 school year the school earned national Blue Ribbon recognition from the U.S. Department of Education.
Warren is a comprehensive four-year public high school serving roughly 3,600 to 3,700 students across two campuses, with a student-to-teacher ratio of about 20 to 1 and a faculty of nearly 300. The district runs a broad slate of academic departments including Business, English and Theatre, Fine Arts, Industrial Technology, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, and World Language, and it administers AP, SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, and Seal of Biliteracy testing alongside a College-Career Center for college and career planning.
Warren's Blue Devils compete in the North Suburban Conference, an eight-school Lake County league, with a longstanding rivalry against neighboring Waukegan. The boys basketball program reached the IHSA state final in 2025, finishing second in the state.
