I have very much enjoyed being a student at Lake Zurich High School for the past 4 years. Personally, I have enjoyed the sports the most. Lake Zurich is a very good athletic high school. I think I would like to see the food change the most. It's not very high quality and it's very expensive.

This school has many support systems and overall good learning departments. The weakest department has to be math, overall the math programs aren't the greatest. Aside from academics this schools teachers have truly helped me grow and achieve my goals.

This school doesn’t cater to kids with any problems weather that be Income, Mental health, Special needs or racial issues. Racism is still very alive here and privileged kids struggle with drug addiction that is never overlooked or brought up.

Excellent Facility with great teachers and programs. Performing arts center second to none. High school football field made of field turf one of the first in the state. Kids prepared for their choice of colleges.
