General Info

Benjamin School District 25 is a two-school elementary ( PreK-8 ) school district located approximately 28 miles west of the city of Chicago, Illinois in the western portion of Du Page County. Benjamin District 25 schools serve students from portions of Carol Stream, West Chicago, and unincorporated West Chicago ( Wayne Township ), with the majority of students living in Carol Stream. The total area of the school district is approximately ten square miles.The residential areas in the district are comprised of primarily middle to upper middle-priced homes. Most of the available land in the district has been developed. Therefore, the potential for future growth of the student population is limited to development of individual lots or subdivisions of large lots that have only one home. Generational turnover of homes and mobility have not yet been significant factors affecting the student population.Housing in the district consists of nearly one-hundred percent single-family residential homes. A few businesses exist along two narrow strips of land bordering North Avenue ( U. S. Route 64 ). Most of these businesses are small, retail companies along with contractors who have their offices and equipment storage areas within the boundaries of the district.
