GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Lincoln-Way East is a great to school for you to be involved and be in the school spirit. The academics can be a little rigorous but there are teachers and students that are there to assist, I am also one of them. It's beneficial to the student in need and the helper. The best thing about the school is that it has numerous opportunities for students to get ahead in the college process and to add extracurriculars to your resume.

In a financial mess and located by sewage station; the stench is unbearable on a windy day., water smells too. The administrators and office staff are laughably self-important, rude. Moving out of area was hands down the best move my family and I ever made.
