Choose Wilmington CUSD

Wilmington is located in the tight-knit community of the same name, just over an hour southwest of Chicago. We are proud of our roots and work tirelessly to maintain the academic rigor and success our community expects.

The state of Illinois recently raised the bar on academic achievement in an effort to prepare our students for the Illinois Learning Standards. We took on the challenge of increasing our expectations of our students and pushed forward with great success. District-wide, we watched our students flourish and know that they will academically achieve even more in the years to come.
