LT is a fantastic school. The teachers are so caring and dedicated to the students. They allow students to come in before and after school daily for extra help. A large variety of course levels is offered, easily meeting students' academic needs. However, the bus service has been extremely frustrating.

Lyons Township is an excellent school. Overall, the teachers are first-rate, with the occasional exception that one can expect from any large organization. They show dedication to teaching and to their students and many will do whatever they can to help students succeed. The school has a diverse curriculum
... Read more and has educational programs for every academic level. The school atmosphere is in control with students and teachers showing mutual respect for each other. The school takes drug and alcohol use seriously and will eject any student found connected to alcohol and illegal drug use from participating in extracurricular activities, (this includes off campus behavior). The student body is reasonably diverse with respect to household income and ethnicity. The arts and sports programs at LT are outstanding. My daughter is in the LT orchestra and the program is nationally recognized and award winning. I am amazed at the number of students whose parents are LT Alumni. They feel so strongly about their LT experience that they relocate to the district to raise their children. I think that is the ultimate testament to the school. Read less

I went to LT and I have to say it's a great public HS. the music programs are AMAZING and the sports are fabulous. Because it is so large, there are tons of extra-curricular options and level of classes for every kind of student. I was in the honors/AP track and felt SO well prepared for college. It's

I have 2 sons attending lths.We actually moved to this area so they could attend this high school because of all the good things we have heard about it. The only thing that bothers me is the dress code.I think they need to tighten up on what is appropriate to wear.

Lyons Township school is great in that it has numerous extra-curricular activities and has a variety of classes that no other school in the state can rival. Parent involvement is good but school spirit is very low.

Very high level of academic acheivement at this school. The size of the school allows for all types of students to get what they want and need out of the school.

Being a former student of LT, I believe that this high school was one of the top high schools in IL, if not the US. The school principal always took an active role in heling to shape young peoples' lives. The teachers were well-educated, and eager to teach and learn themselves. The variety of extracurricular

I felt that the parental involvment was very high, being that their were many opportunities for parents to get involved, as well as a high parent turnout at athletic events. Safety was key, and there was no tolerance for violance and/or vandalism. Overall, I would not have traded my High School for any other. Go LT Lions! Read less

Lyons Township High School is one of the best in the country in my honest opinion. I was a student there and now my kids have gone to 5 different high schools between them in their 4 yrs and not 1 comes even close to the experiences I had at good ole LTHS! The Quality of education to Athletics to

I have had the opportunity to speak with parents of young adults attending a number of different schools in the Chicago metropolitan area. Few view the schools their children attend as positively as LTHS parents view LTHS. LTHS teachers are knowledgeable and responsive, and the administration exemplary,

As an LTHS grad myself, I can speak from personal experience that LT is a school that provides abundant opportunity for both learning and social engagament. The co-curricular activities are a must, and there is such a tremendous variety that any student is bound to find something that he or she will enjoy. Participate early, and participate often! With only a bit of LTHS grad bias I can say that LTHS helps to cultivate responsible young adults with a passion for lifelong learning. Read less
