About West Chicago Elementary School District #33

District 33 is located within the boundaries of the City of West Chicago, a small town nestled between the Geneva to the West and Wheaton to the East.

District 33 serves children and families prek through 8th grade:
  • Birth to 3 program, which is a FREE Early Education Program for expecting parents and families with children under the age of three;
  • Three preschool locations
  • Six elementary schools
  • One middle school with 6th - 8th grade

The District's population reflects the diverse demographics of West Chicago and portions of Winfield and Wheaton, from which it draws its student enrollment. District 33 employs 369 full time certified staff members and 279 classified staff members throughout the 8 schools and the district office. The majority of certified staff members hold advanced degrees.

While the data and demographics of our district can be found on the Illinois State Board of Education website the true story of our district cannot be found in the numbers alone. The true story can be told by the members of the D33 family - the staff, the students, the families and community partners. Watch video here.
