City - Calumet City

Calumet City sits about 23 miles south of Chicago along the Illinois-Indiana border, carrying a history that runs from its founding as West Hammond in 1893 to its reinvention as a primarily residential suburb. Locally known as Cal City, the community of roughly 36,000 spans just eight compact square miles, giving it a dense, neighborhood-centered feel without the sprawl of larger suburbs. Its location near Interstates 90, 94, and 294, along with Metra Electric line access at Hegewisch Station, keeps downtown Chicago within commuting range for those who work in the city but prefer a quieter address. River Oaks Center anchors retail activity in the southwest portion of the city, and the Burnham Greenway trail system threads through wetland and prairie corridors, connecting residents to neighboring Indiana towns on foot or by bike.

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.
