I've attended Lick Wilmerding for 4 years now and It's amazing! There are so many available resources and opportunities for educational purposes some of which I'll miss in college. In terms of college readiness, you are very well prepared academically but there are only 3 college counselors for a class of 125ish to you essentially have to do it yourself if you're a first gen college student. The social life is exciting but there is light (depending on you personality) divide between the rich kids and kids on flex tuition.

My experience at lick is awesome. The teachers are great and I am learning a lot! At this school, I feel welcomed and there are lots of staff that helped me in my journey. There is lots of support coming from everyone. I have made lots of friends!
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!
