From the Village of Northbrook and each district’s published sources (not a boundary map)

- District 28 publishes a district boundary map and an elementary-schools boundary map for Greenbriar, Meadowbrook and Westmoor.
- District 30 serves “the communities of Northbrook and Glenview”; for a property in question it says, “please refer to the property tax bill.” District 31 includes portions of Glenview and Northbrook.
- Sunset Ridge District 29 describes “a small section of Northbrook” within its district; its graduates who continue in public school attend New Trier. Wheeling District 21 also lists Northbrook among its communities.

Feeder paths can include exceptions or special programs. Verify the specific address or program with the district.
Search by Elementary School uses the school field supplied with each MLS listing. That field is a property-search criterion, not an attendance-boundary determination, so verify the specific address with the district.
Verify an Address
Use the district’s current source.
Start with the Village of Northbrook Community Portal: after you enter the address, it lists the elementary and secondary school districts for that property. Then confirm with that district’s own boundary source; District 30, for example, refers residents to the property tax bill for a property in question. District 29 says its graduates continue to New Trier; for a District 29 or District 21 address, confirm the high-school district with the district. School assignments and boundaries can change. Verify this address with the applicable school district before relying on the result.
