I find that statement VERY hard to believe as well.

February 26, 2009 (WINNETKA, Ill.) (WLS) -- Several north suburban teenagers allegedly turned an unoccupied home in Winnetka into their own party house, causing more than $10,000 in damage.

Police say the teens drank alcohol, smoked and partied for several days before it was discovered they were using the home.

Pabst Blue Ribbon and Milwaukee's Best beer cans all over the house, clothes dumped everywhere along with cigarette butts. Police say the trashed Winnetka home is the work of several uninvited high school students..."

And get away with it...

Boy, How embarrasing for the parents. I would have thought those Winnetka parents would have raised their kids better than this - PBR and MIlwaukee's Best!!!

The Lake Forest School System is not the best and does not have a lot of the programs or funding that the other North Shore and North Suburban schools do, but its not bad for your child to attend Lake Forest Schools. I would say about half of Lake Forest kids are enrolled in their public school system. I know a lot of Lake Forest families opt-out for Lake Forest Country Day, Willows, Lake Forest Academy, North Shore Country Day, Loyola, Baker Demostration, and Roycemore School.
