Lick-Wilmerding is an amazing school with lots of diversity in all areas, including ideas and perspectives. Especially with the smaller classes and tight-knit community, each student receives a lot of support. I would say I pretty much know every face in our community, so it's nice to see a friendly face everywhere I go. ALSO, the food is amazing! I definitely feel prepared going into college next year!
Review Lick-Wilmerding High School
I can't say enough great things about this school. Everything they do is thoughtful & deliberate. Not only does L-W have excellent academics but they also develop the entire person, socially & emotionally. Students are kind, tolerant, diverse, respectful and very happy! The administrators & staff/teachers truly follow their mission statement. Of course, their tech shops are incomparable. Students get so much out of this school...unbelievable!
Going to Lick was the best decision I ever made. The culture of the school is incredibly diverse and loves to explore every question you will ever find. One of the most popular sale-pitches the school has is the work shops, which all students are able to use. By halfway thoruogh freshman year, you are compleatly competent in all of the shops, andwith a CAD program provided by the school. In my opinion the shops are underrated in the reveiws I personally have seen. It is an increadibly inculsive school, with a safe space for anyone who needs it. If you are on the fence, I would highly reccomend going to shadow, even if it is out of your price range. If it is, you can appy for flex-tuition and that can help you school experience.
