Thank you for the suggestions. I have looked at Brookfield but the commute seems to be much longer. I imagine same would be for La Grange park, but I will look into it. I do wonder why there is such a stark difference in the school ratings between grade school and high school in lombard.

I'm not sure how the commute is much longer, but I'm just doing a general town to town, whereas maybe you're looking at your exact locations. From Lombard, LaGrange Park and Brookfield, at 7 am as an example, it takes from 28-55 minutes per google maps to get to Norridge. I don't know if someone knows the specifics about 1st Ave, but maybe that's slower than I think?

If I look at what time it takes right now at 9:10 pm, Brookfield and LaGrange Park takes about 27 minutes, Lombard approx 31 minutes. That's not really as applicable as your work commute probably.

As ayubimope stated, Lombard does feed into Glenbard West and Glenbard South as well, but the majority of town feeds into Glenbard East or Willowbrook HS.

Here's the boundary map

I'd also suggest looking at illinoisreportcard.com for info on schools. Pretty good website.

The high school serves areas with more low income families: Part of Addison and a lot of Glendale Heights.
