District Boundaries, Residency, and School & Classroom Assignment

Community Consolidated School District 15

Boundary Map image

Community Consolidated School District 15, the second largest elementary district in Illinois with more than 11,000 pre-K through 8th grade students, is located in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Its approximately 35-square-mile boundary includes all or parts of seven communities: Palatine, Rolling Meadows, Inverness, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg, South Barrington, and Arlington Heights.

Students who are legal residents of District 15 may attend school in the district.

Under special circumstances, and on a very limited basis, parents may request an Intra-District Transfer of the child(ren) from their assigned home school to another intra-district school.

The process for determining student classroom assignments begins in the early spring and runs through the "6th-day" statewide enrollment audit to determine if there are significant increases or decreases that warrant changes in the number of classrooms. The Board of Education has set average class size targets as 24 students for Grades 1-3, 26 students for Grades 4-6, and 28 students for Grades 7-8 (for "core" classes—Literature, History, and Language Arts) for schools across the district. Principals engage in shared decision-making with their staff to determine how many classrooms will be needed at each grade level, taking programmatic placements into consideration.
