Total enrollment is approximately 3,000 students, supported by 251–500 staff members, and all five K-5/6-8 schools have earned the U.S. Department of Education Blue Ribbon Award. The district provides a comprehensive academic, social-emotional, and extracurricular program offering core instruction in ELA, mathematics, science, social studies, fine arts, music, and physical education, alongside social-emotional learning curricula (Second Step K-5, Wayfinder 6-8), special education, gifted enrichment, English Language Learner support, Title I services, athletics, performing arts, and before/after-school care through Champions.

Specialized infrastructure includes a district-scale solar installation at Butterfield School and Highland Middle School (approximately 900kW from ~3,600 panels, ~30% of participating schools' electrical needs) that established District 70 as the largest solar-powered school district in the Midwest at the time of installation in 2014. Student data privacy is governed by an SOPPA/FERPA/COPPA/CIPA-compliant framework executed through the Student Data Privacy Consortium and LearnPlatform.

Revenue is generated primarily through local property taxes allocated across multiple statutory funds — Education Fund (80% of financial activity), Operations & Maintenance (12%), Debt Service, Transportation, Municipal Retirement, and Working Cash — supplemented by federal and state education funding and ancillary fee-based services including pay-to-ride busing (Lakeside Transportation, 44 routes, 374,213 annual miles serving 1,703 riders), Chartwell's-served lunch program, Champions before/after-school care, Little Sprouts preschool tuition, and device repair fees. The D70 Foundation for Excellence operates as a 501(c)(3) fundraising adjunct. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education with Rebecca A. Jenkins serving as Superintendent, and operates under a published 2023-28 Strategic Plan.
