Original Research by School Decision on Partners for Success-old Mill Sch
Partners for Success-Old Mill School is an alternative middle and high school (grades 6 through 12) located in Addison, a mixed industrial and residential suburb about 25 miles west of downtown Chicago in DuPage County.
The school currently reports zero enrollment across all grade levels, indicating it is either not yet operational, has closed, or enrollment data is not being reported through standard channels. Because no enrollment data is available, state academic testing results, proficiency measures, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism figures, and demographic breakdowns cannot be assessed. A parent considering this school should contact the school directly or reach out to DuPage ROE, the county regional office that oversees administrative services for the area, to clarify the school's current operational status and how to access information about programs, admissions, and recent performance.
Alternative schools serve students whose learning needs, behavioral profiles, or life circumstances differ from traditional school settings. They often emphasize personalized learning paths, flexible scheduling, behavioral support, or credit recovery. Without access to enrollment numbers, program descriptions, staffing data, or outcome information, it is not possible to characterize what academic pathway or student support model this school offers.
Addison itself is a car-dependent suburb anchored by manufacturing and logistics. United Parcel Service, The Pampered Chef, and Nabisco are major employers; the village hosts numerous industrial parks. Housing costs in the 60101 zip code are above the Illinois state average, with median home values in the mid-range and rental costs moderate to moderate-high. The local tax base is solid, supported by the commercial and industrial corridors rather than by residential property alone. Addison does not have direct Metra commuter rail service, though regional bus transit and proximity to O'Hare Airport provide broader connectivity.
Growth in Addison peaked decades ago; recent development is mostly infill and redevelopment of existing parcels rather than new residential subdivisions. The community is stable and mature rather than rapidly expanding.
A parent seeking enrollment information or program details should contact the school or DuPage ROE at the regional office level, as the data currently available does not provide the specifics needed to evaluate fit or access.
