Melrose Park, IL is a peaceful and community-oriented village. Why has it been so successful within the last 150 years? Probably due to the quality of its education. There are 20 Melrose Park, IL schools in the area, and more outside the village. First, let’s consider the village’s public schools. The Board of Education District 89 on S. 8th Avenue is joined by the Grant School, the Jane Addams School, the Mannheim Junior High School, and the Melrose Park School. Closing out the list of public grade school facilities, there is also the Scott School and the Stevenson School.
There are only two public high schools and they are the Proviso East High School
On S. 1st Avenue and the Proviso West High School on W. Wolf Road. There are also seven private and special interest schools. Many of these are Christian schools and include the likes of the Apostles Lutheran School, the H. McNelty School, the Sacred Heart School, St. Charles Borromeo School and the St. Paul Lutheran School. Private high schools include the St. Patrick High School on Belmont and the Walther Lutheran High School on W. Chicago Avenue.
