I am a student here and I have to say I love it here. The school has a little bit of bullying and discrimination as it is very hard to not have any at all but they handle way better than any other school I have been to. The teachers here are amazing: so kind, respectful, helpful, and caring! It is a great school and I really enjoy it.

Equity should not be a category in this review. This is a good school that 7 years ago was a great school. Sadly, equity and all the social emotional focus has infested this school. Fortunately, this is the new pedagogy that will quickly pass as it is not sustainable. New board members will be elected and we will get our academics back on track. Currently, its ridiculous. But its the same everywhere in Illinois due to our current Governor and his very progressive social agenda. This too shall pass.

Vernon Hills High is one of the best secondary schools in Illinois when it comes to providing students with several electives and subjects to allow students to pursue any dream or hobby they want. But with prestige comes a great cost, and that is discrimination, prejudice, and outright bullying. This school is known for having a very negative culture on average, with students providing little to no camaraderie with their peers, and treating people lower than dirt. This school also provides little to no support for those affected by these types of cruel acts by their peers. There is a great range between students in eternal bliss and suffering from severe depression in this school, and everyone truly only cares for themselves. Unless you know your child has a strong will and once to pursue great classes, don't apply here.

Great teachers, always ready to help kids needing it. Small school (compared to Adlai Stevenson) setup really helped my kid.
