Overview
Northbrook District 27 is a school district in Northbrook, Illinois. It consists of three schools, Hickory Point, Shabonee, and Wood Oaks Junior High School. The district used to have a fourth school, Grove but it was shut down and destroyed in June 2010 after a decision by the board of education.[2] There also used to be a school called Indian Ridge, but this closed in 1982. The building was sold off to the Northbrook Park District, and now operates as the Northbrook Leisure Center.[3] Hickory point and Shabonee are elementary schools which run from Kindergarten to 5th grade. After 5th grade, students are transferred to Wood Oaks Junior High school, which teach grades 6–8.
