LT TOPS AMONG ILLINOIS SCHOOLS

For the 11th consecutive year, Lyons Township High School was one of just 58 Illinois school districts honored with a Bright A+ award.

The award is based on academic performance, and districts earning the award are among the top 5 percent of all Illinois school districts.

High school districts were judged based on the ACT composite score of all students tested.

The Bright A+ awards are sponsored by School Search, a firm that provides comparative school district information to corporations, homebuilders, libraries, real estate professionals and relocating families.

Not only does LT score in the top 5% in the state, LT's ACT score of 24.1 is significantly higher than state and national averages.

Each year nearly 90 percent of the graduating seniors are college-bound.

Their outstanding ACT scores are instrumental in gaining admittance into top colleges and universities across the country.
