Disney II Magnet School, located at 3815 N. Kedvale in Chicago's Old Irving Park neighborhood, began operation in September 2008. Modeled after Disney Magnet School located at 4140 N. Marine Drive along the lake, the opening is a much anticipated and welcomed addition to the Old Irving, West Walker and Independence Park neighborhoods. While the school is a magnet school, it derives 30% of the student body from within the 1.5 mile radius surrounding community. The school will ultimately be a K-8 elementary school, but is only K-2 this, its first year.
It will add one grade level per year until it serves K-8. It is amazing to now see all the listings in the MLS that actually cite the school as a major attractive feature of the neighborhood. In fact, 4 active listings in the neighborhood show Disney II as the school! CPS has a long way to go to meet the needs of all the children in the city, but it is heartening to see that the system is finally taking the ball and advancing proven school programs by replicating them throughout the city.
