Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, the school is conducted by the Congregation of Christian Brothers and is named for the Irish Saint Laurence O'Toole. It is located in the southwest Chicago suburb of Burbank, Illinois, adjacent to Queen of Peace High School, a private, all-female Catholic high school. HistorySt. Laurence was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers as a boys' school. With the closure of its neighboring sister school Queen of Peace High School, a girls' school run by the Dominican Sisters, it was announced that St. Laurence would become coeducational from the 2018-19 academic year onwards and accommodate transferring female students.[2] Due to construction delays on the Queen of Peace High School building, Queen of Peace High School classes were held in the D and E-Wings of the St. Laurence building for one school year while construction on Queen of Peace High School was completed. ClassesClasses are divided into three levels: B Track, A Track, and Honors. The majority of the students are in A Track classes. The students enrolled in the Honors level are given additional schoolwork and an extra 0.5 added to their GPA. A 2005/06 Helm article complained that the differences between the A Track and Honors track are growing and that students believe that it wasn't fair that you can get all "A"s in an A Track class and have a 4.0 GPA, whereas all "B"s in an Honors class would only yield a 3.5 GPA. There continues to be a discussion over these issues. {{citation needed|date=June 2009}} At the start of the 2013 school year, St. Laurence became a STEM school.
