Far South Chicago is an urban neighborhood situated about 15 miles south of Downtown Chicago. The neighborhood is centered by Lake Calumet, which draws in residents and visitors alike as the marshy landscape is surrounded by park lands, golf courses, and trails. Surrounding this outdoor area is commercial and residential spaces. Renters have the choice between a variety of apartments situated on the edge of town while retail centers equipped with all the necessities are located along the town’s main thoroughfares. Outside of town, residents can travel a few minutes west to enjoy additional outdoor recreational activities provided by the lakefront parks and trails off the shores of Lake Michigan. For more dining, shopping, and world-class entertainment, residents head about 20 minutes north by car or train into the heart of Downtown Chicago.

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.
