As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Do not send your children to Lake Park High School. Racism is very prominent throughout the school administration. I have personally experienced racism when interacting with Caucasian teachers, registration staff, and security guards. On one occasion, the security guard accused my child of being a drug dealer because they had “a lot” of money. It was birthday money. At a football game I was harassed by the principal, two teachers, and the security guard because I went to charge my phone in my car between games. The teacher tried to make me use their charger. When I declined, the security threw me and my children out of the game. I’ve never experienced such blatant racism in my life. It starts at the top and unfortunately African American families have to deal with it for four years. Close Quote

The school administration is very poorly run. If you call at their start time you are told with attitude that you cannot expect them to be available to take your call, they just arrived and are busy. Try that in the real world. They are unfriendly, uncaring and go out of their way to give you the run around instead of helping. Numerous phone calls and I still have received no help from this school. Do not send your kids here if you can help it! Close Quote

Anybody ranking Bloomingdale school districts below 5 stars isn't paying attention. SD 13 is outstanding and Lake Park is head and shoulders above other public schools. You don't need to live in Naperville, Hinsdale or Barrington to get the best public education around, Bloomingdale is phenomenal. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
