Herrick Jr High School

District 58 serves students living in Downers Grove and portions of Darien, Oak Brook, Westmont and Woodridge.

District 58’s 11 neighborhood elementary schools serve children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The Grove Children’s Preschool program, with its research-based curriculum, is housed at two of the elementary buildings. The district’s two middle schools serve children in grades seven and eight, with schedules designed around student clusters for core academic subjects.

All District 58 students feed into Community High School District 99.
