ALSP-Fenton CHS, part of North DuPage Special Education Cooperative, is a special education school in Bensenville, Illinois, serving middle and high school students. The school is located at 1000 W Green Street in a village that sits at the nexus of Chicagoland's residential suburbs and its industrial core, just west of O'Hare International Airport.
Bensenville itself is a mixed-character place. Its downtown, anchored by a Metra station on the Milwaukee District West Line, offers walkability and civic amenities: restaurants, shops, a historic cinema, and a public library. But much of the village's economic footprint lies in logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, and commercial printing tied to O'Hare proximity. A large industrial park hosts numerous Fortune 500 companies and many smaller businesses. The Edge Ice Arenas, home of the Chicago Steel and practice facility for the Chicago Blackhawks, anchor the Redmond Recreational Complex and draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. The village is also home to Robert Morris University. Housing in the area has appreciated steadily, and newer townhome construction near downtown and the Metra station reflects recent developer interest. The neighborhood draws a growing demographic of younger professionals attracted by O'Hare access and schools.
The school itself presents a data-limited picture. Academic performance and testing data were not available, likely because the school serves a special education population for which state accountability reporting differs from general education. Enrollment, demographics, free-or-reduced-price-lunch rates, special populations counts, and discipline data are also missing. Without these figures, the school's size, composition, and attendance patterns cannot be characterized from the data provided.
A parent considering this school will want to engage directly with the school and the cooperative to understand the specific special education pathways it offers, the student population it serves, and what academic and transition supports are in place. The district and school websites, along with conversations with administrators and special education coordinators, will be essential to understanding whether this environment and its services match a student's needs and family priorities.
The broader Bensenville context suggests a growing, transit-connected community with stable employment and active civic life, but the school's particular mission and operation remain outside the data available here.
