WILMETTE
Wilmette, the largest of the villages in New Trier Township, represents about 40% of the student population feeding into New Trier High School. Within Wilmette, there are two separate districts: Wilmette District 39, which serves the majority of the community, and Avoca District 37, which although much smaller, is broader in scope in terms of communities it covers (see below).
Wilmette District 39 serves approximately 3500 students from *K – 8th grade with four neighborhood elementary schools:
-
Central School (peach) K-4, East Wilmette
-
McKenzie School (green) K-4, South-Central Wilmette
-
Harper School (pink) K-4, North-Central Wilmette
-
Romona School (purple) K-4, West Wilmette and a small section of southeast Glenview
The four elementary schools comprising District 39 all feed into a two-year Middle School, after which students attend a two-year Junior High. Both schools are centrally located within the community and a stone's throw away from one another, linked by a park-like setting known as The Community Playfields. The ease of access between the two campuses encourages sharing of teacher resources as well as an array of integrated student activities.

WINNETKA
The second largest K-8 school district feeding into New Trier High School is Winnetka’s District 36, with an enrollment of approximately 1633 students. There are three neighborhood elementary schools serving K thru 4th grade:
-
Greeley Elementary School K-4,“primarily” east Winnetka
-
Crow Island Elementary School K-4, south west Winnetka
-

The school system is similar to Wilmette’s, in that all three grade schools feed into a two-year middle school and upon completion, a two-year junior high school.
The two middle schools are centrally located within the village with both campuses next to one another, creating a symbiotic relationship similar to Wilmette, sharing some teacher resources and integrated student activities.
