Direct peers

• Wood Dale School District 7: Neighboring DuPage County K-8 school district that co-developed the Portrait of a Graduate framework with BSD2 and Fenton HS District 100. Comparable suburban elementary district serving overlapping feeder communities in Wood Dale and Addison.

Regional players

• Addison School District 4: DuPage County elementary school district that partially overlaps BSD2's geographic reach in the Addison area. Similar suburban K-8 structure, comparable size, and serves a similarly diverse student population.
• Glen Ellyn District 41: DuPage County K-8 school district from which BSD2's current superintendent Dr. Katie McCluskey was recruited (she served as Assistant Superintendent there from 2017–2022). Comparable suburban elementary district with similar instructional program structure.

Others

• Fenton High School District 100: Feeder high school district for BSD2 graduates and co-developer of the Portrait of a Graduate partnership since 2020. Operates at a different educational level (grades 9-12) but is a strategic regional partner in the Bensenville micro-region.
• DuPage Regional Office of Education: Regional oversight body that provides regulatory supervision, professional development, and compliance support to BSD2 and other DuPage County school districts. Not a competitive peer but a structural stakeholder governing BSD2's operations.
