LPHS has had a profound impact on me as a young adult. I am thankful to have been part of the IB diploma program, which has had a significant impact on my academic and personal development, I have been able to foster meaningful and relationships with teachers, peers and other members of the school community which I am will keep in touch with for the rest of my life.

My experience with Lincoln park high school so far has been decent. Most teachers I've had freshmen year- junior year have been very supportive. I was on the Varsity poms team for 2 years and had the best time making friends while also attending and preforming at football games, basketball games, and competitions. Lincoln park high school is a very diverse school with many races, cultures, and religions.

Great amount of programs offered; however, the school sometimes struggles with its organization and safety for students.

We have a child that current attends Lincoln Park and enjoys the school so far. The teacher...

The curriculum is tremendous - integrated and comprehensive. The IB program is like a small school within a larger school, with all the...
