Shoreland Lutheran High School

excellent school. Great academics, activities, staff, environment, sports, location, and student body. Great Christian environment!

I am a parent and grandparent of SLHS students. I've been to Shoreland countless times, and have always been totally impressed at the quality education Shoreland offers, the sonderful, caring staff, the respectful students and the wonderful closeness the students and parents have at SLHS. I also love seeing how much the teachers and student like each other...they are very close...It is one of the best rated in Wisconsin, as well. It is definitely easier to discipline students when they use Christian principles. What would Jesus want you to do? Any child able to attend is very fortunate and it is money well spent. I did prefer the earlier dress code, which was stricter. Kids do act better when they are dressed better... One teacher was known to have told an unruly student..."The first time I have difficulty with you, I talk to you, the second time I send you to the Principal, the third time I invite myself to your home for dinner...Excellent...

Our personal experience with shoreland is very negative. The education is better then the local public schools, but certain member(s) of the current administration do not follow very christain like principles. We have withdrawn one student because of deceit that we personally caught the person in. When he was confronted he stated that it was decision to act in this manner and us as parents should trust him implicitly over our own principals. They have the students do common housekeeping chores without the parents knowledge, they will take the children out of the school without the parents knowledge. I know of one instance where a member of the administration personally benefited financially from the students work, without the parents knowledge and during the day. This is a very poorly managed school, and some member(s) of the upper administration feel they can do what they want.

Shoreland is an excellent school to attend, the teachers are great and we all have a personal bond. Everything we do we strive do do it out of love for Christ. Its disapointing that someone would say we dont pray before game because personally being involved in numerous sports they are clearly being mislead. Before every game we do say a pray even the players are being leaders and leading in the prayer. Also the dress code at shoreland is beyond appropriate we have a strict no collar bone rule for all tops and no holes in jeans or to short bottoms rules. If they are not followed we are kindly asked to change. I respect my teachers and by doing so i feel they respect me. I highly recommend shoreland and I am always proud to be a Shoreland Pacer.

Both of my children were graduated from Shoreland. I spent a great deal of time doing volunteer work at this excellent Christian school. I can't comprehend how any parent would give a negative review in any aspect of the school's performance unless that parent was specifically looking for something else or their child had discipline problems due to bad behavior. This is a confessional Lutheran school. One particular confession of faith -- as spelled out in the Book of Concord of 1580 --- is taught & believed & practiced in every sphere of school life. Every teacher & employee must subscribe to this standard of faith and must be an active and loyal member of a church belonging to the fellowship of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod. Every year their ACT scores are the highest in Kenosha County! There's lots of college scholarships for graduates! God's Word is used in every class!

My daughter loves it at Shoreland! She can't get enough of school Academically she is doing very well, as are kids in her class who struggled in grade school. Shoreland provides extra help for those who need it and their is a closeness amongst classmates that forms friendships that will last a lifetime. Their atheletic program is outstanding. I believe that Shoreland provides a well-balanced education preparing my child for this life and the next. I recommend SLHS.

It's like a public school but costs $5,000 more and they can spend the tuition money any way they please.

Yes, it is too bad that more people do not take the time to step into the school and take a good look at what goes on here. It saddens me that this is what some people may have as their only example of a Christian school. The language, the dress code, the lack of respect for each other is evident everywhere. I think the staff could be a better example for the world if they would do things like prayers before sports games or what happened to putting your hand over your heart when the National Anthem is sung? Other schools do it, even those that are not Christian. It does not seem like a very good example to this world.

It saddened me to see the first two reviews posted about our high school at Shoreland. They were so negative. However, I realize that no one place will ever satisfy all of its constituency, so I thought I'd take advantage of the opportunity to speak positively about this great school! Shoreland continues to further its mission of 'educating, equipping, and encouraging students for lives of Christian service' everyday. This happens as the Word of God is used everyday in classes, in chapel worship, in sports, the fine arts, and even in discipline. I fear that some who don't recognize this haven't taken the time to ever step foot into the building, into a classroom, or to really talk with an administrator or staff member. Their efforts are outstanding, and considering they're working with 300+ teenagers everyday (sinners like you and me), they deserve the greatest respect I have to offer!

I have had two of my children graduate from this school. Presently, two more of my children are going here. It is the only school I would consider. The christian education is second to none. The faculty and staff at top shelf. My children have received an outstand education that has prepared them for post high school both scholasticly and spiritually. Don't take my word for this. Come and see. See for yourself. Talk to the students or staff.
