North Chicago is a thriving North Shore suburb located about an hour up the lakefront from Chicago proper. The city is best known as the home of Naval Station Great Lakes and Great Lakes Naval Training Center, the U.S. Navy’s largest training center and only boot camp. Between the Navy personnel who live off-base and the thousands of civilian citizens who work at the base, North Chicago’s local culture is heavily influenced by the military. The city also hosts an extensive medical and healthcare community, with the massive Abbot Laboratories and Rosalind Franklin University of medicine and Science calling North Chicago home.
Lake Michigan and the numerous nearby parks and gold courses provide great opportunities to spend time outdoors, and Metra service will get you to Chicago’s Ogilvie transportation Center in about an hour and twenty minutes.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
