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.

LTHS is a school that is filled with opportunity for their students. With hundreds of clubs and endless AP classes as well as SAT prep courses and a lot of unique course options, the school has prepared me for my future very well.

I have had a positive experience with Lyons Township High School although there has always been as issue with buses and substitute teachers, so I believe that the school can make a better effort two those two categories so then students can get to school on time, and be in a useful learning environment.

Lyons township was the first school where I ever felt belong by the students and teachers. Bullying is never seen or done. Teachers care about the students education by providing tutoring and resources. My four years in that school were fun throughout extra curriculums and sports. The sports games are fun to attend to.

I attended LT and loved my experience there. Now my son is a freshman and is really excited about classes that he wasn’t before. He really likes most of his teachers and says they are helpful and supportive. LT offers a lot of class options and I feel is geared towards individual exploration of inte...
