PARK WEST SCHOOL

Park West School is a public middle school that is part of the Grayslake CCSD 46 school district, located in Round Lake, IL with about 420 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th Grade. With about 26 teachers, Park West School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Park West School, located at 400 W Townline Rd in Round Lake, Illinois, is a facility operating under the jurisdiction of Round Lake Area Schools District 116. The school primarily serves as a specialized educational center, focusing on early childhood programming. It is designed to provide foundational learning experiences for the district's youngest students, emphasizing school readiness, social-emotional development, and early academic engagement in a structured, supportive environment.

As part of the broader district strategy, Park West plays a critical role in bridging the gap between home and formal elementary education. The school typically hosts preschool and early intervention programs, often incorporating bilingual or English as a Second Language (ESL) resources to support the diverse demographic needs of the Round Lake community. By fostering a collaborative atmosphere between educators, families, and the district, Park West aims to establish a strong educational trajectory for children before they transition into the K-12 system.
