Lincoln Park High School

What Lincoln Park High School does

Lincoln Park High School is a public secondary school serving Grades 9-12 in Chicago, Illinois, operated by the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district at 2001 North Orchard Street. The school delivers a college-preparatory curriculum anchored by the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme — the first IB program authorized in Illinois and the second in the Midwest, in continuous operation since the 1980-1981 school year — alongside the IB Career-related Programme, Advanced Placement coursework (with 86% student participation), and JROTC. The co-curricular portfolio includes 25+ varsity sports, performing and visual arts programs, competitive robotics (Roarbotics FTC Team #17403), and 60+ student clubs and organizations, supported by dedicated college/career counseling and behavioral health services.

The school's operating technology stack is composed of consumer/SMB SaaS rather than proprietary infrastructure: Google Classroom manages coursework, Edlio powers the school's website (lincolnparkhs.org) and parent/student portals, Snap! Manage handles student-athlete registration from 2025-2026 onward, and GoFan processes digital ticketing for athletics. The school's brand assets — including multiple LPHS logo variants, Lion mascot marks, and IB/JROTC sub-brand marks — are formally codified under a published branding and guidelines document.

As a public school, Lincoln Park High School does not commercialize its core educational offering; revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the only documented fee-for-service stream is paid after-hours parking at $10 per 4-hour block via the Collector Solutions/Magic payment platform. Distribution occurs through the CPS centralized lottery admissions system, with supplemental engagement via the school's own channels — official Facebook, Twitter/X (@lphslionpride), Instagram (@lphschicago), YouTube, and the Edlio mobile app — plus community outreach through the Local School Council, the Friends of LPHS (FOLPHS) parent organization, and an active alumni association. Reported outcomes include a 92% four-year university or two-year college enrollment rate for graduates and approximately $14.25 million in financial aid awarded to the Class of 2022.
