General Details I am currently attending this school in…read more2024. The teachers are passionate about your education and the majority of the counselors are trustworthy. The school however does have a bit of a workload, ESPECIALLY for Honors/AP classes. The school food is much better than middle school or elementary school but definitely still has its faults. As long as you aren't absent for anything crucial, pay attention, and ASK FOR HELP when you need it, you will understand your courses. AP Human Geography is an especially tough course because of its workload and the fact that your tests and FRQs are definitely challenging. But there isn't anything to seriously stress over. Student Life 90% of the students are chilled and just want to go about their life, so you won't have to worry about fights or conflicts unless they're clearly being instigated. Vending machines have quality food and sometimes you can even get two products when only paying for one. Navigation around the school also isn't bad at all, the elevators are handicap-only access but you have 5 minute passing periods and stairwells all not too far from each other. I will be honest though that there is an issue with students and vaping, but it is not widespread and it will not be forced on you. The #1 goal of the staff at Lakes is to make YOU feel like you belong and can be on the path to the career you want. There are after school events and clubs for everyone's tastes. There are also emails sent out every Monday for your missing assignments to you and your parents and emails of your grades on every Thursday to the same people. There are also plenty of original staff members still here or staff you'll see mentioned in other reviews, such as Mr. Rowells and Mr. Blevins. These teachers are absolutely top tier. If you're looking into anything that has to do with theater/theatre, this school has one of the most advanced set building thinga ma jiggers out of high schools in the state, plus the teacher ( Mr. Esquivel ) is a great person that is especially easy to get along with. Lengthy review, but its everything you need to know.

Last night my coaching staff and student-athletes at Beloit Memorial High School had an…read moreuncomfortable experience that resulted in us feeling unsafe at Westosha Central High School and ultimately not competing in the Varsity game. As the JV game was winding down (after our bench received multiple technicals for cheering throughout the game), a referee approached me and stepped within 2 inches of my face stating "I should've ejected you from the game but it's too late now. So you need to just sit there, shut your mouth, and watch the game" as he was simultaneously wagging his finger in my face. I asked him to step back out of my personal space and he responded, "I don't have to". I stood up to repeat my statement as the referee did not step back out of my and my girls personal space. He then became even more disrespectful and disgruntled I would not "sit down and shut up." As this altercation is happening , I saw who I now know is the superintendent sitting at the scores table closest to our bench. He did not see an issue with the interaction that just happened as he did not move a muscle to stand up for us and tell the referee he was out of line. He actually waved over the sheriff on duty to have me "removed" from gym for asking a referee to not invade my personal space. The Athletic Director told my coaching staff that he was going to report us to the WIAA if "she" doesn't play this game instead of coming to see if we were okay, if our student-athletes were okay, or what next steps would look like. He and the superintendent never adressed me at any point during this time. They actually continued to walk past me this entire time as if they did not know I was the Head Coach. After getting approval from our District to leave, we were told we had to leave out of the back door and could not exit through their gym which is the way we came in. I told them we were going to leave the way we came in as my student-athletes were not the aggressors and would not be treated as such. As we were exiting, a handful of cheerleaders, student-athletes, and parents/fans started making "ooh ooh ah ah" noises and gesturing like a gorilla. This was triggering for the student-athletes, but our coaching staff advised them to continue walking to the bus as their safety was our main concern. We notified the Westosha Superintendent right away, however did not stay for the follow up action. The student-athletes deserve to play in a safe environment at all times. Whether it is the JV2, JV, or Varsity level. We are a family and one program. Our Coaches deserve to be treated with respect in all spaces. It is such a tragedy for these young student-athletes to have to continue to experience these discriminatory and aggressive actions towards their program. I will never allow these young women to play in an unsafe environment. I will not continue to be disrespected by individuals who believe their status gives them freedom to disrespect black women. We are not animals and we are not supposed to just get over it. My girls JUST WANT TO PLAY BASKETBALL! Thats all we want is to play the game we love in SAFE and WELCOMING environments! -Coach DJ

I have graduated from Warren Township High School, and I'd like to share my experience. Quick thing…read moreto know is that the school is divided into two campuses--OP for underclasses and Almond for upperclassmen. Before I get into sharing in depth experiences, I would like to share a quick thoughts. The school employes physical education teachers who are inconsiderate of medical problems and limits. I had this one teacher this year --Mr. McNamara. McNamara would install toxic expectations--grading us on the pacer test? 30 laps for the girls, 40 for the boys? Why should students risk fainting for a grade? If you did not reach the requirement, points were deducted from your grade. You might think, "oh it's just one day," well on weekly cardio days, if you did not set your treadmill to a minimum speed or increase your elevation to a set amount, your points were deducted, which over a semester adds up. McNamara also prohibited students from using the bathroom during class, claiming that if you drove to Libertyville, you would not stop to use the bathroom. Like what? If I had to use the bathroom, I would be stopping? Also, McNamara attempted to disobey school policy but not allowing me to make up physical education days--he claimed I couldn't because I "choose" not to participate. Also, Ms. Turano--another gym teacher is also highly unprofessional. She would intentionally start drama with students and deduct points for asking questions related to the in-class activity. The school allocates their time, resources, and recognition way too much towards sports. Students in sports get send offs in the hallway, but academic clubs like science olympiad, scholastic bowl, AVANZA Chicano Bowl, and FBLA don't. You might think; "those clubs are not a sport," but those clubs demand hard work and hours of preparation. Also, the school utilizes AI, but they punish students for using it? Once had a Spanish teacher teach us about the environment and nature and used AI images in her presentation--very hypocritical. She was openly telling us she used AI. When I called her out for it, she called me annoying in front of the whole class. Now, I'd like to say that the school administration, deans, and workers from student services did not prioritize student needs and lacked the skills to engage and listen to students. One time here, I was falsely accused of academic dishonesty--canvas logs allegedly showed me accessing questions beforehand and proceeding to complete the test ahead of the allocated time. While it was true that I accidentally entered the test, upon seeing this, the canvas tab was immediately closed out off and no questions were ever seen. The dean stated that the logs showed the test was open for ten minutes--however, the way canvas works is that once you open something a timer starts, which is why when I finished my test in class the timer showed 50 minutes when I took around 15 minutes. I revealed this during the conference I had, except no one was willing to listen--they prioritized the reputation of the first year teacher-- Mr. Greenberg, Business Law Teacher who filed an academic dishonesty report against me. Now, the school administration and board were incompetent. They failed to plan accordingly for harsh, winter temperatures and road conditions. They claimed there is a set number of days that classes were required to be held--per the state requirement. Now, my question is, is the school administration aware that e-learning is an option which priorities the safety of student and staff and adheres to the state requirement? During the 2025-2026 year, dozens of members of the student body reached out to the district superintendent with concerns, but their concerns were dismissed, diminishing student voice. During the winter, one of my friends, who drove to school, also got into a crash due to ice. The school also failed to deliver adequate consequences for disruptive students. During one of my classes, a student started a verbal altercation with me that resulted in the teacher calling security. I was later told that me and the fellow student would be attending a meeting to clarify the situation and have the chance to say remarks. However, this never occurred. Some teachers that I personally had were horrible--Mr. Longo, who failed to answer my questions and told me to figure it out myself. He was the one who believed his "independent learning style" worked on everyone. Ms. Delzotti and Ms. Vranek--who were downright disrespectful towards me and my friends and were biased in their NHS decisions. Ms. Fischetti--who yelled about eugenics at seven in the morning. One last thing, special shoutout to Mr. Bruno and Mr. Zaban, who are actually best friends. They deserve the world and a bonus. Both were patient, knowledgeable, actually cared about their students and would ask about their day and were overall very happy and passionate to be teaching.

Many areas that are normally required to learn were left out and gone unacknowledged. With the prior knowledge and understanding I already had while I was taking one of her classes, I became very surprised, in a negative way, when so much crucial material was not addressed. I'm very unsatisfied with the incredibly light, tip-of-the-iceberg, scratching-the-surface course of study that was supposedly "taught." Very mediocre job and as an Honors class, the students deserve more in depth learning. The units listed on the syllabus were definitely not covered in full detail. Below minimum. I was so excited to re-learn certain things again, but to my dismay, they were either very watered down, or just skipped over. She specifically said "we are not going to do a whole unit on World War I." The utter audacity to deprive her students, ones she doesn't even deserve, of information regarding the essential history of our world is sickening.
