I am going to be a Senior this coming fall and I feel that LWC has really helped me to find myself and be prepared for the future. They offer so many classes and activities that it is hard for a student to not be active. I might harp on Lincoln-Way, but the truth is I really do love it.

I'm a senior at LWC, as I like to call it. I do have to admit, that any student at Lincoln-Way will get a very high quality education, especially for a public school.

Even my parents and numerous other parents I have spoken with can agree that the rules and regulations are a little 'overboard.' For example: 3 detentions just for taking a drink out of your water bottle? It's like the rulebook goes on foever, and whats shocking is that my parents agree, and their as about as strict as it gets. -- overall, a great academic experience! Read less
