The Cragin neighborhood of Chicago, also known as Belmont-Cragin, sits halfway between Diversey and Fullerton Avenue, just over nine miles northwest of Downtown Chicago. Sitting eight miles northwest of the Loop, Cragin, once a hub of Chicago industry, now combines a suburban pace of life with urban conveniences. Locally owned restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are scattered around the neighborhood’s walkable layout. Contemporary apartment developments have popped up as more residents flock to areas outside Chicago. You’ll find mid-rise apartments in modern styles and long-standing rentals as well. Access to Interstate 90 and Chicago’s Blue Line makes it easy to commute into and out of the city.

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.
