About Wauconda Community Unit School District 118
Wauconda Community Unit School District 118 spans Lake and McHenry counties and includes Wauconda, Island Lake, Lake Barrington, Lakemoor, Port Barrington, Volo, and nearby unincorporated areas. The school addresses fall into two visible place-name groups: Cotton Creek and Matthews Middle are in Island Lake, while Robert Crown, Wauconda Grade, and Wauconda Middle are in Wauconda. Those locations explain why both community names recur in the district’s school system, but they do not by themselves establish a feeder pairing.
The official boundary map determines the K–5 school and either Matthews or Wauconda Middle for a specific property. Municipal, county, township, and postal labels overlap near the district’s edges, while every ordinary route ultimately reaches Wauconda High School. The place-name pattern helps describe the district’s two-county geography; the property map supplies the actual elementary-and-middle sequence.
