The area, not just the school
Lincoln-Way Central sits in New Lenox, just south of I-80 near Lincoln Highway, and it serves families from both New Lenox and Mokena. This is classic southwest-suburban Will County. New Lenox calls itself the Home of Proud Americans, and Mokena's motto is Planned Progress, Pleasant Living. Both villages have grown into family-first communities, with New Lenox at about 27,000 people and Mokena around 20,000 as of the 2020 census.
The lifestyle here leans into the outdoors and an easy commute. The Old Plank Road Trail, a 22-mile paved hiking and biking trail, runs right through the heart of New Lenox, and Mokena connects into it through local bikeways. For Chicago commuters, the Metra Rock Island District line runs through both towns: New Lenox has a station at Route 30 and Cedar Road, and Mokena has two stops at Hickory Creek and Front Street, all running into LaSalle Street Station downtown. Drivers get quick access to I-80, with I-355 and I-57 close by.
The housing here is largely newer subdivisions built out as the area grew, and home values reflect a stable, in-demand market, with New Lenox listing a median home value around $402,000 as of 2023. One thing worth knowing as a buyer: the school physically sits in New Lenox, but it serves Mokena families too, so a Mokena address can absolutely feed into Lincoln-Way Central.

The school
About Lincoln-Way Central High School
Lincoln-Way Central is the original Lincoln-Way school, opening to students on September 7, 1954. For decades it was simply known as Lincoln-Way, and area residents still call it that today. As the southwest suburbs grew, District 210 expanded into a four-campus district, but Lincoln-Way North closed at the end of the 2015-2016 school year as part of a deficit reduction plan, leaving three schools: Central and West in New Lenox, and East in Frankfort. Central remains the flagship, and the District 210 administrative offices are still housed on the campus.
Lincoln-Way has a long reputation as one of the strongest public high school programs in Will County. On statewide achievement testing, Lincoln-Way Central has historically ranked in the top tier of Illinois public high schools, and along with Lincoln-Way East it has ranked at or near the top among Will County schools. District 210 has also been noted as the lowest per-pupil operating cost among the six-county Chicago metro area, a sign of how efficiently it runs while keeping results high.
The Knights compete in the SouthWest Suburban Conference and are members of the Illinois High School Association. Central fields a deep slate of boys and girls programs, from football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling to soccer, swimming and diving, track and field, gymnastics, volleyball, golf, tennis, water polo, and lacrosse. School spirit is a defining feature here, and the Marching Knights are a point of pride, having performed in events like the Tournament of Roses Parade and a Presidential Inaugural Parade.
