Lake County schools welcomed 114,709 students in the 2023-24 school year, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.

This is a decrease of 3.3% from the previous school year, when there were 118,672 students enrolled in the county.

Lake County had the third highest enrollment numbers in the state.

Of all the students welcomed at the time, 51.2% identified as male, and 48.8% as female.

The most represented ethnicity among Lake County students was white, making up about 42.6% of all the students.

Within Lake County, Adlai E. Stevenson High School had the highest enrollment in the school year, welcoming 4,573 students.

As of the 2023-24 school year, Illinois public schools enrolled approximately 1.85 million students across nearly 4,000 schools. There was roughly one teacher for every 15 students, slightly better than the national average of 1:16.

K-12 enrollment has been declining in Illinois for many years, reflecting the state's demographic changes. Between the 2019–20 and 2022–23 school years, Illinois public school enrollment declined from approximately 1.98 million to 1.85 million students, a decrease of about 127,000 students or 6.4%. This decline is significantly higher than the typical annual decreases of 0.5% to 1.5% observed in the preceding years, reflecting broader demographic shifts within the state.
