At one time, District 109 contained as many as eight elementary schools. However, Maplewood, Woodland Park, Briarwood, and Cadwell were all closed beginning in the 1970s through the 1980s and their students absorbed by the four larger, remaining elementary schools. A small part of the far southwestern side of the village is in [[Aptakisic-Tripp Community Consolidated School District 102]] and [[Stevenson High School (Lincolnshire, Illinois)|Stevenson High School]]'s area, with some students living in that area.
