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.

I have attended Lake Zurich High School for about a year and a half. The teachers are pretty nice and the administratoration itself had lots of resources and I can tell that they care about their students but being in a predominantly white school I've faced things and specific situations that I shouldn't have to deal with.

Overall, good school. Gets kids ready for college, maybe more focus on the trades. Also maybe more parent involvement opportunities.

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.
