Outstanding public schools in Naperville, Illinois

They may then attend Thayer J. Hill Middle School for grades six through eight, which also earns an A.

Lake Osborne, Buttonwood and May Watts Park
“Families love living in Naperville because of its abundance of parks and playgrounds nearby,” Johanneson says. May Watts Park, named for the famous naturalist and writer, is just outside the elementary school and has a playground and pond with a walkable trail surrounding it. May Watts Park also has a good-sized hill that is popular for sledding in the winter. Buttonwood Park is a small green space with a playground and is known to be a good spot for dog walking. Lake Osborne Park features a lovely pavilion and a walking trail that follows Lake Osborne’s shore. However, the trail does not go entirely around the lake due to sharing space with the Naperville Police and Fire Department buildings.
Nearby the Watts neighborhood is the DuPage River Trail perfect for a nice stroll.
