Living near Andrew HS

The area, not just the school

Living near Andrew puts you right in the heart of Tinley Park, a southwest suburb that has spent decades building a comfortable, settled feel. The village grew up along the old Rock Island railroad, and that history still shows in the walkable downtown around Oak Park Avenue, where the historic depot, local restaurants, and the Metra platform anchor the original village center. Most of the homes around here went up during the big suburban build-out from the 1970s through the 1990s, so you get mature trees, full-sized lots, and a mix of brick ranches, split-levels, and two-stories rather than brand-new construction.

The commute is one of the real selling points. Tinley Park sits on Metra's Rock Island District, with two stations in the village, the Oak Park Avenue station downtown and the 80th Avenue station to the west, both running straight into downtown Chicago. Interstate 80 cuts across the south end of town for drivers, and Harlem Avenue and LaGrange Road handle the north-south traffic.

For nights out, the area is anchored by the big amphitheater on Ridgeland Avenue, the venue that opened in 1990 and has carried names like Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre and, most recently, Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre. It seats roughly 28,000 and brings major summer concerts right to the neighborhood. Add a median household income above $100,000 and a strong share of family households, and you get a stable, family-first community where buyers tend to be planting roots for the long haul.

The school

About Victor J. Andrew High School

Victor J. Andrew High School, known locally as Andrew or VJA, opened in the fall of 1977 and is named for Victor J. Andrew of the Andrew Corporation. It was the third school to join Consolidated High School District 230, taking its place alongside Carl Sandburg and Amos Alonzo Stagg. The first graduating class walked in 1980, and the Thunderbolt mascot and logo were drawn from the Flash trademark of the Andrew Corporation, a nod to the company name behind the school. Today it serves students from Tinley Park, Orland Park, Orland Hills, and Oak Forest.

Andrew posted a graduation rate of 93.7 percent, and in a recent year about 80 percent of graduates enrolled in college within one year of finishing. The school offers a full slate of Advanced Placement coursework along with a range of college and career support programs.

Andrew competes in the SouthWest Suburban Conference and fields IHSA teams across the board, from football, baseball, and basketball to soccer, swimming and diving, volleyball, water polo, badminton, and bowling. The program's deepest tradition is girls badminton, a perennial state contender with multiple championships, while the baseball team brought home a state title in 1992 and the bowling program has stacked up trophies on both the boys and girls sides.
