About five miles south of Downtown Chicago, Bronzeville is a historic district containing six structures on the National Register of Historic Places. Prominent figures such as Gwendolyn Brooks, Sam Cooke, Ida B. Wells, and Louis Armstrong helped shape Bronzeville into the cultural and progressive community it is today.
Public art fills the streets of Bronzeville, from vibrant murals to elaborate sculptures, most of which line Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. Lakefront recreation abounds at Burnham Park. The Illinois Institute of Technology lends unique architecture and intellectual pursuits to the neighborhood. Lake Meadows Shopping Center provides an outdoor haven for all kinds of retail delights.
Bronzeville is also notable for its proximity to major amenities such as Guaranteed Rate Field, Washington Park, the University of Chicago, Museum of Science and Industry Chicago, McCormick Place, and Arie Crown Theatre.

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.
