The area, not just the school
Life around the STEM Campus means the heart of Chicago's south suburbs, where Olympia Fields, Matteson, and Richton Park meet. This is classic settled-suburb territory: leafy streets, mature trees, and a mix of solid mid-century ranches and split-levels alongside newer construction, with lot sizes and yards that are hard to find closer to the city. Olympia Fields adds a touch of prestige with its golf-course heritage, while Matteson and Richton Park bring practical, family-friendly neighborhoods and everyday shopping close at hand.
Commuters love this pocket for a reason. The Metra Electric District line runs right through the area, with stops at Olympia Fields, Matteson, and Richton Park giving a straight, reliable ride into downtown Chicago, and I-57 sits minutes away for anyone who prefers to drive. It is the kind of location that lets you keep a downtown job without paying downtown prices.
Affordability is the real headline. Buyers consistently get more square footage, more yard, and more house for their money here than in most of the metro, which makes the area a strong fit for first-time buyers, growing families, and anyone trading up without overextending. If you want space, an easy commute, and a genuine sense of community, this is a part of the south suburbs worth a serious look.

The school
About Rich Township STEM Campus
Rich Township High School District 227 opened its first school, Rich East, in Park Forest in 1952, followed by Rich Central in Olympia Fields in 1961 and Rich South in Richton Park in 1973. Facing declining enrollment, the District 227 board voted in October 2019 to consolidate into a single Rich Township High School operating across two campuses, a change that took effect for the 2020-2021 school year and was backed by a roughly 105 million dollar renovation program. Under the new model, the former Rich Central building in Olympia Fields became the STEM Campus, focused on science, technology, engineering, and math, while the former Rich South building in Richton Park became the Fine Arts and Communications Campus.
As District 227's STEM Campus, the school emphasizes science, technology, engineering, and math within the consolidated two-campus academy model adopted for 2020-2021. District graduation requirements include completing a Future Ready course such as AP, IB, or dual credit. Current participation and graduation figures are tracked on the Illinois Report Card.
The consolidated Rich Township High School competes as the Raptors in the Southland Athletic Conference and is a member of the Illinois High School Association, fielding a full slate of fall, winter, and spring sports. The campus carries a deep athletic heritage from its predecessor, Rich Central, whose teams competed as the Olympians and won several IHSA state championships across wrestling, volleyball, bowling, gymnastics, and cheerleading.
