I enjoyed the experience I got from going to Waukegan High school. I was able to understand the importance of involving yourself in the community and educateing yourself to be able further help the community. The staff were very invested in the students and the success the students want after high school. The teachers strive to make a great enviorment given the resources they are given to help encourage the students to feel comfortable to learn. There are plenty of opertunities to envolve yourself as a student after school to expand the amount of experience you have to to make you stand out from whatever path you decide to choose. They also support your choices in whether you choose to continue your studies or want to join the workforce right after highschool.

Waukegan is a very good recommended school. A lot of people view Waukegan as a bad school but honestly , based off the 2 years that I attended the school is not bad at all . Ever since I started attending I completed 2 college courses ,have made friends of all nationality , have had good resources to help me academically they're are also always fun activities to do. Some downsides of the school however is the school lunch . It is not the best food , the bathrooms I feel could be a lot cleaner , and we should also get some free resources and etc. Overall Waukegan is a good school however it is necessary that they should upgrade a few things and it would be a very good recommended school in my opinion .

In Waukegan high school there are many ways in which one might describe their own experiences, however for me it seemed like everything was just perfect. The way it should be because of all of the various opportunities that were offered to me in order to pursue my future.

I’m not going to lie worst high-school to ever put a teenager in. If you’re a parent wanting to see your child succeed you’re not going to see them succeed coming from this school.
