Glenbard Township High School District 87

It never has a ZIP Code to itself

At 1,453 homes to the square mile this is city territory, and district lines in a city follow streets. Glenbard Township High School District 87 covers 44 square miles in all — small enough that a single ZIP Code area can hold most of it, and several ZIP Codes can cut across it.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 60137 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 60172 it holds 2 homes, under half a percent. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What one name misses, and what changes later

Glenbard Township High School District 87 is the largest district in 5 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the high school answer misses 16,367 of the 74,563 homes those areas hold — though in 2 of them it holds every home there is for high school. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Glenbard Township High School District 87 is one of 4 high school districts the file names for ZIP Code 60188 · Carol Stream, Illinois. It holds 9,512 of the 15,904 homes there; the rest is 6,392 homes with Community Unit School District 200, School District U-46 and Community High School District 94. For grade school the area is named for Community Consolidated School District 93 (8,818 homes), Community Unit School District 200 (3,553 homes), School District U-46 (1,593 homes), 2 more districts and 79 homes in a district under half a percent.

Glenbard Township High School District 87 holds 16,927 of the 22,203 homes in ZIP Code 60148 · Lombard, Illinois, so its name is the right high school answer for most of the area and the wrong one for the rest: 5,256 homes with DuPage High School District 88 and 20 homes in a district too small to name here.

ZIP Code 60108 · Bloomingdale, Illinois is a two-district area for high school: 4,839 of its 9,538 homes are inside Glenbard Township High School District 87, and the other 4,699 homes are with Lake Park Community High School District 108. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

Glenbard Township High School District 87 holds all 15,018 homes counted for high school in ZIP Code 60137 · Glen Ellyn, Illinois, and no other high school district holds a share worth naming. For grade school the same homes are named for Glen Ellyn School District 41 (7,796 homes), Glen Ellyn Community Consolidated School District 89 (5,724 homes), Lombard School District 44 (865 homes) and 2 more districts, so a single name answers only one of the two questions there.

ZIP Code 60139 · Glendale Heights, Illinois is another area where Glenbard Township High School District 87 holds every home counted for high school — 11,900 homes — and for grade school the same homes are named for Queen Bee School District 16 (5,206 homes), Marquardt School District 15 (5,129 homes) and Glen Ellyn School District 41 (1,565 homes).

ZIP Code 60189 · Wheaton, Illinois repeats the pattern with 5 names holding a real share: 2,488 of its 12,315 homes are Glenbard Township High School District 87's, and the other 9,827 are not.

Glenbard Township High School District 87 holds 1,346 of the 13,380 homes for high school in ZIP Code 60101 · Addison, Illinois, behind DuPage High School District 88 at that level. For grade school the area is named for Addison School District 4 (11,774 homes), Marquardt School District 15 (1,346 homes), Elmhurst School District 205 (130 homes), Bensenville School District 2 (93 homes) and 37 homes in a district under half a percent.

Glenbard Township High School District 87 is not the name anyone would give for ZIP Code 60187 · Wheaton, Illinois — Community Unit School District 200 leads it — and Glenbard Township High School District 87 holds 381 homes there all the same. Answer that area with one name and that is what it is wrong about.

The elementary districts that feed it

An address on that ground belongs to two districts at once, one for grade school and this one for high school, and neither name is the whole answer.

This list is an estimate, names as well as percentages. The snapshot behind this site keeps the homes each district holds in each ZIP Code area, not the pair of districts on each census block, so a district is listed here when it runs the other band in a ZIP Code area this one shares, and each percentage spreads that area's homes across those districts in proportion to the share each holds there. Unified districts are left out: a block in a unified district belongs to no elementary or secondary district. Read the percentages as the size of the crossing, not as a count of houses.

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 10 of the 11 ZIP Code areas Glenbard Township High School District 87 reaches, at least one other district holds a real share of the homes as well, and the line between them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.

District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.

If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.

Where these numbers come from

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
