The area, not just the school
Living in Oak Park and River Forest means settling into one of the most architecturally rich and walkable corners of metro Chicago, just eight miles due west of the Loop. Oak Park is famously the place where Frank Lloyd Wright spent the first twenty years of his career: the village holds the world's largest concentration of Wright-designed buildings, including his Home and Studio and the landmark Unity Temple, set among leafy streets of Prairie-style and historic homes. River Forest, its quieter neighbor to the west, offers grander lots and stately tree-lined avenues. Together the two villages give buyers a rare mix of turn-of-the-century character, mature trees, and front-porch community feel that is hard to find this close to downtown.
The day-to-day lifestyle here is built around easy access and genuine walkability. Downtown Oak Park, along the Lake Street corridor, is a true town center with shops, restaurants, a library, and year-round events, and the commute into Chicago could not be simpler: the CTA Green Line runs four stops through the village, and the Metra Union Pacific West Line drops you in the heart of downtown Oak Park, putting the Loop within an easy ride. Drivers reach the city quickly via I-290.
What ties it all together is community. Oak Park and River Forest are known for prizing diversity and inclusion, with a strong public-school identity anchored by the shared high school, abundant parks and recreation, and a homeowner-and-renter mix that keeps the villages lively and connected. For families weighing the suburbs against the city, this area offers historic homes with real yards, a vibrant downtown, and a one-seat ride to Chicago.

The school
About Oak Park and River Forest High School
Oak Park and River Forest High School was founded in 1871 and is the only school in District 200, serving the villages of Oak Park and River Forest. The current school building opened in 1907, and in 1908 the school adopted the shield-style crest that has symbolized OPRF ever since. In 1927 the school constructed a large fieldhouse containing four gymnasiums, two swimming pools, an indoor track, and seating for 1,000. The school was an early innovator in the arts, founding its orchestra in 1907, and was among the first schools to grant credit toward graduation for orchestra performance.
OPRF is a comprehensive public high school offering more than 200 courses, 90 clubs and activities, and 29 competitive sports, with a reported average ACT composite score of 24 and a 94% graduation rate. The school maintains a robust Advanced Placement program spanning English, calculus, statistics, computer science, the sciences, history and government, economics, psychology, the arts, and several world languages. Rather than naming a valedictorian, OPRF awards the Scholarship Cup to the graduating seniors with the highest weighted GPA, and it is a founding member of the national Minority Student Achievement Network.
The OPRF Huskies compete in the West Suburban Conference and field 29 competitive sports. The school has a deep championship tradition, especially in boys track and field, where the program holds some of the most state championships, top-3 finishes, and top-10 finishes in IHSA history. OPRF has also won IHSA state titles in baseball, softball, wrestling, swimming and diving, tennis, and volleyball.
