Lincoln Park High School

I regret having my child attend this high school. The only reason I kept him in it was because he made actual friends for the first time. Communication here from parent to staff is non existent. I'm still waiting on replied to my emails from 2024. I've emailed principal Grace Moody multiple times with no response. Same thing with counselor. Children have been assaulted here with chair thrown at head and no one contacted parents. This happened multiple times until a parent spoke up with a possible law suit. Kid got suspended after multiple incidents. First time I saw principal was at graduation. Kids say they barely ever saw her.

Great community and preparation for high school

Ours has been a CCS family for 13+ years and has been able to see firsthand how successful the CCS community is at engaging 4-5 years old and helping them grow into confident, capable, and empathetic young adults. In early childhood, the children are nurtured and made to feel safe as they begin their educational journey. In lower school, they are encouraged to be independent, advocate for themselves, and learn how they fit in the community and in the world. In middle school, they are given the tools to think critically, challenged academically, and are guided in the high school selection process, so that they are able to choose a school that is a good fit for them. My oldest is off to college in the fall, my middle child is a freshman in high school, and my youngest is in 3rd grade. They are all thriving. My kids are all very different people and somehow CCS was the perfect fit for each of them. Each of my kids benefited from the challenging academic curriculum but also had the space and support that allowed them to explore their interests and find their unique voices. The entire community at CCS is caring and focuses on bringing out the best in each child academically and emotionally and I am so grateful that our family landed in such a wonderful place.

I’ve had children at St. Clement for 10 years and cannot say enough wonderful things about the education and community. The teachers and staff are exceptional—meeting each of our three very different children where they are and helping them grow as individuals. For a small school, St. Clement offers an incredible range of sports, music, and clubs. Our oldest graduated fully prepared for high school with a true love of learning and a strong sense of self. We couldn’t ask for more from a grade school.
