Overview

The district consists of three schools: Hickory Point, Shabonee, and Wood Oaks Junior High School. The district used to have a fourth school, Grove, but it was shut down and destroyed in June 2010 after a decision by the board of education.^[2] Prior to that, there used to be a school called Indian Ridge, but this closed in 1982, with the building sold off to the Northbrook Park District, and now operates as the Northbrook Leisure Center.^[3] The district prides itself in providing students with many accommodations such as disabilities, or accelerated learning.
