@solariesrkdLiving near Lakes CHS
The area, not just the school
Living in the Lindenhurst and Lake Villa area means settling into one of the greenest corners of northern Lake County. Forest preserves, marshland, and lakes are woven right through the subdivisions, and the Lake County Forest Preserves keep large stretches of that land open, including McDonald Woods, Hastings Lake, and Grant Woods. Lake Villa Township alone holds Cedar Lake, Deep Lake, Crooked Lake, Sand Lake, and Fourth Lake, so weekend fishing, paddling, and trail walks are part of everyday life here.
Housing runs toward established single-family neighborhoods and newer subdivisions with a rustic, peaceful feel. Lindenhurst is a village of a little over 14,000 residents, and neighboring Lake Villa is a smaller, semi-rural community, so together they give the area a settled, family-friendly character without feeling crowded. Younger students are served by districts like Millburn District 24 and Lake Villa District 41 before they move up to high school.
For commuters, Lake Villa has its own stop on Metra's North Central Service into downtown Chicago, and the area sits just minutes west of the I-94 tollway corridor. Lindenhurst itself does not have a station in the village, so most residents drive a few miles to the Lake Villa Metra stop or a nearby park-and-ride. It is the kind of place where you get lakes, trails, and quiet streets, with a train line and a major highway close enough to keep the city within reach.

The school
About Lakes Community High School
Lakes Community High School opened to about 600 freshman and sophomore students on August 23, 2004, as the second high school in Community High School District 117. Voters approved a bond referendum to build the school in 2000, and construction ran from 2001 through the summer of 2004. In the spring of 2003 the district's board selected the school's name, Eagles mascot, and royal blue, white, and red colors from ideas submitted by community members. For its first year Lakes shared an athletic program with its sister school, Antioch Community High School, before fielding a full slate of its own teams beginning in fall 2005.
Lakes Community High School reports a four-year graduation rate of about 93 percent, and roughly 52 percent of students take Advanced Placement coursework. The school has been recognized among stronger Illinois high schools and earned a College Success Award for the 2024-25 school year.
The Lakes Eagles compete in the Illinois High School Association as a member of the Northern Lake County Conference, which formed in 2016 from former North Suburban and Fox Valley schools across Lake County. Lakes fields a full complement of varsity programs. In its earliest years the school shared athletics with Antioch before joining the North Suburban Conference Prairie Division in fall 2005.
