# A.E.R.O-Functional Acad Learning
This school is closed. It operated as a special education school serving middle grades in Burbank, Illinois, under the A.E.R.O Special Education Cooperative, a multi-district cooperative based in Illinois.
Because the school is no longer in operation, current enrollment, demographics, academic performance, and staffing data are not available. No state testing results, graduation rates, or program offerings are documented here. Parents and residents seeking special education services in this area should contact the A.E.R.O Cooperative or their local school district directly to learn what programs currently serve students with special needs in the Burbank region.
Burbank itself is a working- and middle-class southwest Chicago suburb built out with single-family homes, ethnic restaurants and markets, and commercial strips along Cicero and Harlem Avenues near the edges of town. Manufacturing, health care, and construction are the largest employment sectors. The community sits close to Midway Airport and the railyard to the north, factors that shape the texture of daily life. Home values in the area have been rising modestly year-over-year, and new construction is sparse; the suburb is mature and predominantly infill rehab rather than new development. Schools sit within the residential grid rather than clustered at a civic center; the Prairie Trails Public Library on South Moody Avenue and the Burbank Park District anchor community life alongside CTA bus connections to wider Chicago.
For families in Burbank seeking special education placements or services, the school's closure means exploring alternatives through the cooperative, nearby districts, or other providers in the southwest suburban network.
