Original Research by School Decision on Alsp-lake Park East Hs-lake Park
ALSP-Lake Park East HS-Lake Park is a special education school in Roselle, Illinois, part of the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative. The school serves middle and high school students. Because this is a special education setting, it sits outside the standard accountability measures that apply to general public schools. State testing data, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism figures are not available for this entity, which is typical for special education schools whose mission and student population differ from those of traditional secondary schools.
The school is located at 600 Medinah Road in Roselle, in the Medinah neighborhood on the east side of the village, a residential area where housing values have appreciated moderately and the community is actively investing in infrastructure and downtown revitalization. Roselle itself is a northwest Chicago suburb straddling DuPage and Cook counties, roughly 25 to 30 miles from downtown Chicago. The village has a small, walkable downtown core anchored by Main Street with locally owned shops and restaurants, but beyond that district the community is car-dependent. Civic life centers on the Roselle Public Library, the Roselle Park District's Clauss Recreation Center, and the Metra station, which provides weekday rail access to Chicago on the Milwaukee District West Line.
Roselle's economy is grounded in manufacturing, retail trade, and health care. The village is in active redevelopment, with a new luxury apartment complex under construction and plans for mixed-use development along Irving Park Road, pedestrian and bike infrastructure improvements, and downtown renewal centered on the library site. Single-family home construction is occurring on infill parcels, and the village has direct access to the Illinois Route 19 Tollway, improving regional connectivity.
Enrollment data, demographic breakdowns, free-and-reduced-price-lunch rates, and staffing figures for this school are not available. Detailed program offerings and course access information were also not provided. For families considering this school, the North DuPage Special Education Cooperative and the school itself would be the primary sources for understanding the specific curriculum, related services, transition planning, and support structures available to students. The school's location in a stable, developing residential area with good regional transit access may be relevant to families' commuting and community context, though the school's particular strengths, specialized programming, and fit for individual student needs would warrant direct inquiry.
