About Community High School District 218
Community High School District 218 begins after a patchwork of eleven public elementary districts. Its official partner list includes Ridgeland 122, Oak Lawn-Hometown 123, Atwood Heights 125, Alsip Hazelgreen Oak Lawn 126, Worth 127, Chicago Ridge 127.5, Palos Heights 128, Cook County 130, Calumet 132, Midlothian 143, and Posen-Robbins 143.5. Those independent systems govern the K–8 experience; District 218 then applies its own property boundary to assign Dwight D. Eisenhower, Harold L. Richards, or Alan B. Shepard.
The ninth-grade handoff changes both the school level and the governing district. A sender district, junior-high name, or south-suburban municipality may describe a common route, but none substitutes for the three-school District 218 boundary.
Other District 218 settings use student-specific placement. Delta provides alternative education, while Summit provides a therapeutic, trauma-informed environment for students requiring intensive support. The Adult Transition Program serves eligible young adults after the conventional high-school years through independent-living, community, and vocational instruction. These programs extend the district beyond the three comprehensive campuses without becoming additional residence-assigned high schools.
