How public schooling is organized in Northfield.

Avoca District 37
Other districts listed by the Village: District 34 and District 225

District 34 assigns its schools by address through its boundary search. District 225 operates Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South; its published attendance rules refer to the Villages of Northbrook and Glenview and to unincorporated areas north and south of Willow Road, so confirm the high-school assignment for a Northfield address directly with the district (District 225 school boundaries).
The Village of Northfield lists five public-school districts serving Northfield: Sunset Ridge School District 29, Avoca School District 37, Glenview School District 34, Glenbrook High School District 225 and New Trier Township High School District 203. In District 29’s words, it serves “a large portion of Northfield, as well as a small section of Northbrook”; its schools are Middlefork (K–3) and Sunset Ridge (4–8), and District 29 graduates who continue in public school attend New Trier. Avoca District 37 (Avoca West K–5, then Marie Murphy 6–8, then New Trier) serves other Northfield addresses. Because several districts serve the village, the specific property determines the path.

See the elementary areas, then verify the address.
Northfield does not have one set of elementary attendance areas: Sunset Ridge District 29 and Avoca District 37 are the two main elementary paths, and the Village also lists District 34. The orientation below comes from the Village directory and District 29’s own description.
From the Village of Northfield and District 29 (not a boundary map)
- The Village of Northfield lists five public-school districts: Sunset Ridge District 29, Avoca District 37, Glenview District 34, Glenbrook District 225 and New Trier District 203.
- District 29 describes itself as serving “a large portion of Northfield, as well as a small section of Northbrook.” Its schools are Middlefork (K–3) and Sunset Ridge (4–8).
- New Trier lists “portions of Northfield” in its service area; its Northfield Campus (grade 9) is in the village.
- Which elementary and high-school district serves a property depends on the specific address.
Neither the Village directory nor District 29 publishes an address-level boundary map on these pages, so confirm a specific property with the applicable district. For a specific property, confirm the address directly with Avoca District 37.
Sunset Ridge District 29
Avoca District 37
District 34 and District 225
The Village of Northfield’s school directory also lists Glenview School District 34 and Glenbrook High School District 225.
District 34 assigns its schools by address through its boundary search. District 225 operates Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South; its published attendance rules refer to the Villages of Northbrook and Glenview and to unincorporated areas north and south of Willow Road, so confirm the high-school assignment for a Northfield address directly with the district (District 225 school boundaries).
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.
