Welcome to West Chicago Elementary School District 33!

At District 33, we are more than a school system - we are a community. Serving approximately 3,000 students from preschool through 8th grade, our district is built on a foundation of diversity, innovation, and strong community partnerships.

Located in the heart of West Chicago, recently recognized by Forbes as one of the top 20 best places to live, our district reflects the city’s rich cultural tapestry. With a dedicated Birth to 3 program, one preschool, five elementary schools, and a middle school, we provide a nurturing and inclusive learning environment for all students.

Through our full-scale community school model, we connect families with essential resources, supported by partnerships with more than 50 local organizations. Our mission is to empower students to become lifelong learners, embrace diversity, and drive positive change.

Guided by a seven-member Board of Education, our strategic plan focuses on student growth, family engagement, and innovation. In District 33, every voice matters - students, staff, parents, and community members all play a role in shaping our future.
