(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I'm a loser and I went to Wauconda. I didn't get much of an education.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I graduated from Wauconda High School a couple of years ago. I wouldn't say it is the greatest school...but you will get out of it, what you put into it. I was in honors classes, played sports, and was involved in clubs. I was able to get into a University that is ranked as one of the top 10 public universities in the country. If you work hard, keep your grades high and participate in extracurriculars, you will have a good chance to go to a decent university and extend your education.

- Find a different school to send your kids. I can guarantee it won't be worth your tax dollars.
