Lane Tech High School Albert G

My first high school: spent a year here in 9^th grade before moving out of Chicago. Still remember taking wood shop, electric shop, and swimming. Oh, swimming! They used to make us swim for an hour, twice a week, with nothing on but swim caps on (it used to be boys only school). Child abuse? This is the reason I don’t like swimming anymore…

I graduated from Lane and the school is pretty good in terms of education.
Why the one star? The bureaucracy is making it impossible to attend.
Very recent example —Someone seriously needs to fire the nurse!!! (The older one — I think there is two) She is so miserable. I graduated few years ago and when applying to med school needed my records from her. This old unhappy woman clearly hates her job with a passion! The process took weeks. She could not send or fax the records (reasons unclear — I assume she did not feel like it). It took me FOUR WEEKS to get a simple computer print out. My friend, who was also applying to med school called a week after me. She spoke to a different nurse. She had her records faxed to her job within an hour of her phone call!!!
Advice? Please fire everyone who has been at Lane for long enough to develop an attitude of «I will make it as hard for you as possible simply because that’s how I roll». Once those ppl are gone I’m sure a lot more will get done and maybe I’ll be more easy about where my taxes are going…

My child goes here and I will say that this school (although once an all boys school) is part of the whole Chicago scene. Set near the old riverview park (now long gone and mostly comprised of a police station) Lane is definitely a hard place to get into but if your grades are up there, you may have a chance to experience a great education. I go there all the time for various functions. Great place and a safe school.

This school has it all.
Sports, academics, and clubs.
