    "I'm a sophomore here at Lincoln park so I'll b graduating in 2014. I can say that I have learned alot. From booksmarts to street smarts. My grade school had a graduating class of 24 when I was in 8th grade so attending a big is school is really interesting because it's new to me. I've met soo many different people. I've seen soo much in and outside this school that I never thought I'd see. but every experience here so far has been a learning experience. I've learned what to say in certain situations, what to do, what not to do, and just how to make it in general. I've also learned a whole lot academically as well. When I was accepted into this school I was accepted into the ib program but I chose to do double honors instead because I didn't want to work to my full potential. But my teachers know my capability and they always try to get the best from me. I had an amazing set of teachers freshman year and I like alot of my teachers this year too. Along with that we have a wonderful principal. He isn't one of those principals that you never see instead Its crazy that I see him quite often in a school of 2200 kids. I have had a great experience here so far and I can't wait to....."

    "Unlike most magnet schools, LPHS has multiple programs, (International Baccalaureate, Double Honors, Honors, and regular), so the educational experience can be tailored to suite the need of individual students. As an example, my son found the IB program too rigorous and transferred into Double Honors for his junior year. Further, there is a separate freshman building so students can transition into high school without a lot of the anxiety that goes along with being the 'low man on the totem pole'. The teachers are engaging and responsive, as is the new principal, which has led to more parent involvement and increased school spirit. You would do you child a disservice by overlooking LPHS in your high school search."

    "Some mere facts for the IB program, the implementation of the program in this school defeats its purpose. The students have to complete busy work in all courses that allows no time to think and develop. Many blogs and websites exist with answers to recirculated homework. 130 students are accepted in LP IB annually, less than 80 graduate, 30 of them drop from the program the first year (only those with ISATS > 90% percentile are can apply, out of more than 2000 applicants choose 130 are selected) 85% of the 80 who graduate complete their IB diploma. This is merely 68 out of 130 capable students and this is around 50% success. Each student is required to take the 6 IB and around 5 AP courses. The teachers are not up to PAR with the students, recently the program lost its best Math teacher, while the only option for a student to take Physics is to take double Science in sophomore year. The program doesn't provide IB Physics class. To the question if my daughter could take a drama class as elective the coordinator answered with pride that Students in our program are not interested in drama This is a 4 year bootcamp. The number of kids who annually go to IVY schools is not published"

    "In hind site having two students in LPHS was wonderful. They chose this school for the theatre program and the reputation. After attending Cornell on scholarship as theatre majors they both realize what a great experience they had. After the independent training and rigorous expectations they were well prepared for college life. Our children have reached back to visit and continue relationships with teachers and peers thoughout college. They walk proud when they say they are a student from Lincoln Park high. The school is well regarded in acedemic circles. Our first graduated Cornell in '07' and our second is set for '10'. We are pleased with LPHS.. Well rounded grads are all you can ask for and we recieved this here. Were there bumps here and there? 'Yes', as in all schools, its rare that schools measure thier failures.We spoke up and were heard. Since '03' we remain happy."

    "My daughter is in the double honors program. I am sorry I let her stay at LPHS. If you are ever in the halls, there is no respect, the kids sound like they are on the street, swearing and yelling in the halls. I spoke with the counselor and was told they have too many students and the student should seek them out if they need help. I am am very sorry I sent her to this school."
