District 58 welcomes our 5,000 PreK-8th grade students on a journey of discovery and learning at our 11 elementary schools and 2 middle schools!
District 58 serves students living in Downers Grove and portions of Darien, Oak Brook, Westmont and Woodridge.
District 58’s 11 neighborhood elementary schools serve children in kindergarten through sixth grade. The Grove Children’s Preschool program, with its research-based curriculum, is housed at two of the elementary buildings. The district’s two middle schools serve children in grades seven and eight, with schedules designed around student clusters for core academic subjects.
All District 58 students feed into Community High School District 99.

The mission of District 58, in partnership with parents and community, is to challenge and engage each child by providing quality educational programs and support services in a safe, nurturing and child-centered environment in order to prepare all students to be lifelong learners and contributing members of a global society.
Our Core Beliefs:
Each student is capable of learning and deserves to be educated and challenged to reach his/her highest potential.
Education is the foundation for success, both in academic achievement and social emotional development.
Within each child, we will cultivate the social awareness, self-management, and responsible decision-making skills necessary to be a contributing member of society.
Educators, students, families, and community members should work together to support the healthy development of all students.
The school environment should be stimulating and engaging, with opportunities for creative, collaborative, and meaningful learning experiences.
The school environment should be safe, friendly, and nurturing, where everyone comes to learn, grow, and develop.
We envision: a school district that inspires children, sparks creative and innovative thinking, celebrates diversity, and builds visionaries.
We seek: an education that excites minds, touches spirits, challenges abilities, and prepares our children for life.
We believe: every child should be expected to grow, stretch, evolve and embrace the challenges of the future in a global environment.
