This School Psychologist role is based in Gurnee, Illinois, a vibrant northern suburb in Lake County known for its welcoming neighborhoods, strong schools, and convenient access to both Chicago and Milwaukee. Gurnee offers the perfect blend of suburban comfort and big-city access, making it an excellent place to build both a career and a life. In this position, you will work on a collaborative, student-centered team to support the academic, social, emotional, and behavioral success of K–12 students.
Your typical day may include conducting psycho educational assessments, participating in IEP and 504 meetings, consulting with teachers on classroom strategies, providing short-term counseling or skill-building groups, and contributing to school-wide initiatives such as social-emotional learning and MTSS. You will collaborate closely with educators, administrators, school social workers, counselors, and nurses to develop comprehensive support plans tailored to individual student needs.
Responsibilities include administering and interpreting standardized assessments, collecting and analyzing data, writing clear and actionable evaluation reports, and helping determine eligibility for special education and related services. You will play a key role in behavior intervention planning, crisis response, and implementation of evidence-based interventions. The schedule follows the traditional school calendar, offering predictable weekday hours and the stability of a school-year rhythm.
Gurnee’s location is a major advantage. The community is widely known for Six Flags Great America, a premier Midwest amusement park that offers roller coasters, seasonal festivals, and family-friendly events just minutes from local neighborhoods. Nearby, Gurnee Mills is one of the largest outlet and value shopping destinations in the region, featuring retail stores, restaurants, entertainment options, and an indoor ice arena.
Families and professionals alike enjoy the area’s recreational amenities, including parks, forest preserves, and walking and biking trails throughout Lake County. For year-round activities, residents can visit indoor water parks such as those at Great Wolf Lodge, explore local restaurants and coffee shops, or enjoy easy day trips into downtown Chicago for museums, sporting events, and cultural attractions. Lake Michigan, with its beaches and marinas, is a short drive away, as are charming nearby communities along the North Shore and in Lake County.
Housing in and around Gurnee is generally more affordable than in the core of downtown Chicago, with a range of options including single-family homes, townhomes, and modern apartments. Many neighborhoods offer quiet, tree-lined streets and convenient access to schools, parks, and shopping. This combination of relative housing affordability, strong community services, and high-quality schools makes the area particularly attractive for school-based professionals seeking long-term stability.
The school environment emphasizes teamwork, professional respect, and ongoing development. School Psychologists are valued as key contributors to student success and are encouraged to pursue areas of specialization such as autism support, behavioral health, or social-emotional learning. The district culture promotes collaboration, data-driven decision making, and inclusive practices, giving you the opportunity to have meaningful impact while continuing to grow professionally.
