About Crest Hill
Crest Hill is a suburban community located in Will County northwest of Joliet. Richland School District 88A currently operates two schools on a shared campus facility. Richland Elementary School serves students in kindergarten through fourth grade and Richland Junior High School serves students in fifth through eighth grade. The District also houses programming for Early Childhood students, Early Learners Pre-School students and several specialized education programs for the Lockport Area Special Education Cooperative (LASEC) students. Richland students, along with the students from six other local grade school districts, feed into Lockport High School. A portion of Crest Hill is served by a separate grade school district, Chaney Monge. To verify which school District your child(ren) will attend, please contact either school with your address.
