Living near Oak Lawn HS
The area, not just the school
Oak Lawn is one of those southwest Cook County suburbs that just feels like home the minute you turn off the main drag. It is a true village of roughly 58,000 people, incorporated back in 1909, and it has the kind of established, tree-lined residential streets you only get in a town that has been around for generations. Housing here leans toward solid mid-century brick bungalows, Georgians, raised ranches, and split-levels, a lot of it built during the post-World War Two boom when returning veterans poured into the area. You will also find newer condominium living right in the heart of town, thanks to a major downtown redevelopment that started in 2002 and reshaped 95th Street.
The commute is one of Oak Lawn's quiet selling points. The village has its own Metra station on the SouthWest Service line, with trains running straight into downtown Chicago, and the downtown redevelopment included a big modern station with a parking garage built right in. Pace bus routes connect the village too, and you are a short hop from the major arterials that feed the Chicago expressway system. Whether you commute by rail or by car, you have options. Day to day, life centers on the revitalized 95th Street corridor, where the shops, restaurants, the Metra hub, and the children's museum all sit close together.
For families, the lifestyle pitch is easy. Oak Lawn runs an expansive park system, more than 300 acres across 22 parks, with everything from neighborhood play lots up to the 38-acre Centennial Park, plus outdoor pools, an indoor ice arena, fitness centers, and an 18-hole golf course. It is a settled, friendly, well-served suburb where you get city access without city prices, which is exactly what a lot of buyers moving out from Chicago's South Side are looking for.

The school
About Oak Lawn Community High School
Oak Lawn Community High School is a public four-year high school in Oak Lawn, in the Chicago metropolitan area, opened in 1952. The school nickname Spartans and the colors Kelly Green and White were chosen by a committee in tribute to the Michigan State University Spartans, who won the Rose Bowl in 1954. As the single campus of Oak Lawn Community High School District 229, it serves sections of Oak Lawn, Bridgeview, Chicago Ridge, and Hometown. The school was directly in the path of the April 21, 1967 Oak Lawn tornado, one of the worst tornadoes ever to strike an urban area, which cut the building in half before continuing through the village.
Oak Lawn Community High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school serving grades 9 through 12, with an average class size of about 24 and a student-to-teacher ratio of roughly 16.6 to 1. For current academic metrics such as AP participation and graduation rate, the Illinois Report Card is the authoritative source.
Oak Lawn competes in the South Suburban Conference and is a member of the Illinois High School Association, playing home football games at Napleton Field. Beyond a broad slate of traditional sports, Oak Lawn is a perennial state power in IHSA fine-arts activities, with multiple state titles in Drama, Group Interpretation, and Speech, and an outright IHSA boys volleyball state championship in 1994.
