GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Lake Forest High School allowed me to grow relationships with my closest friends through sports and a lot of the teachers made me enjoy school.

I absolutely loved the people there and they were all friendly and helpful. I would recommend everyone to bring their child to Lake Forest!
