City - Dekalb

Located 65 miles west of Chicago, DeKalb, Illinois combines small-town charm with the academic energy of Northern Illinois University. The historic "Barb City" features 44 public parks spanning over 700 acres, including the River Heights Golf Course and Hopkins Park Pool. Nature enthusiasts appreciate the walking and biking paths along the Kishwaukee River.

Downtown DeKalb showcases the Egyptian Theatre, an architectural landmark from 1929 that continues to host performances and events. The area offers diverse housing options, from established neighborhoods near NIU to newer apartment communities throughout the city.

DeKalb's heritage as the birthplace of barbed wire meshes with its evolving present, exemplified by Meta's data center development. The city maintains strong connections to both its agricultural roots and modern commerce along Route 23.

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.
