City - Galesburg

A charming piece of Illinois history, Galesburg is a one-of-a-kind college town. Home to Knox College, Galesburg is a lively, family-friendly suburb with convenient highway access to Interstate 74. Near this route, residents venture over to Kiwanis Park, offering ball fields, walking trails, a playground, and open green space. Lakeside relaxation awaits at Lake Storey Park in the northwest corner of town, with the perfect lake for fishing and open green space for picnicking by the water.

Small businesses are the source of Galesburg’s small-town charm, like Iron Spike Brewing Company, located in a former fire station. The former home of famous poet Carl Sandburg, Galesburg features several of his childhood homes and numerous other historic landmarks like the Old City Hall. Check out the Galesburg Railroad Museum and the Discovery Depot Children’s Museum for family-friendly fun.

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.
