Lake Forest High School is ranked in the top ten best schools in Illinois for a reason. The teachers at this school are amazing and are extremely passionate about the subjects they teach and genuinely care about their student's success.

Challenging curriculum. Lots of activities to choose from. Is a very wealthy community in general so there are challenges with super rich and everyone else.

Going to LFHS has been a great experience. Something really special to me is that I got to attend school with all of my three siblings. My sophomore year, my older brother was a senior, my twin brother was also a sophomore, and my little sister was a freshman. Seeing them in the hall was so fun and driving to school and back getting to talk about our days. I have great friends, teachers who care, and I'm able to get involved with anything. One thing I would change is clics. They still exist, and I wish we could all be friends with each other and not just talk to people we are close friends with.

Going from the hell-hole that is DPM to LFHS was such a relief. You will not regret sending your child here. It is one of the best education systems I could experience in my lifetime.
