Lincoln-Way North High School, or LWN, is a public four-year high school located approximately one mile south of Interstate 80 at the intersection of Harlem Avenue and Vollmer Road in Frankfort, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago, in the United States. LWN is part of Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210, which also includes Lincoln-Way East High School, Lincoln-Way Central High School, and Lincoln-Way West High School. Lincoln-Way North draws students from Tinley Park, Illinois, Frankfort, Illinois, Mokena, Illinois, and Frankfort Square, Illinois. Summit Hill School District 161 is the only feeder district for Lincoln-Way North High School.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 )〕 ==History== Lincoln-Way North opened in 2008 after voters approved a $225 million building bond referendum to build two new high schools and update the two existing schools. Lincoln-Way West opened the following year and was designed similarly to North.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Chicago Tribune )〕 LWN has consistently been ranked among America's Best High Schools by both Newsweek and U.S. News and World Report and the high school has a 99 percent graduation rate with 80 percent of graduates attending post-secondary education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = ABC 7 Chicago )〕 On Thursday, August 13th, 2015 the Lincoln-Way District 210 school board voted 5-2 to close Lincoln-Way North upon the conclusion of the 2015-2016 school year. The school closure is part of a cost reduction initiative that was established by the board with the goal of removing District 210 from the Illinois State Board of Education Financial Watch List. The school district has been struggling financially due to declining enrollment and funding.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Chicago Tribune )〕 In 2006, when the district voted to double the number of schools in the district from two buildings to four buildings by constructing North and West, projections showed continued rapid growth within district boundaries for years to come. However, it did not take long to realize that these projections would prove inaccurate because the housing market soon collapsed and the United States entered an economic recession. These factors halted growth in the district.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Chicago Tribune )〕 All students who live within North's boundaries will instead attend Lincoln-Way East beginning with the 2016-2017 school year. Lincoln-Way East will consist of students from Summit Hill District 161 and Frankfort 157C.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lincoln-Way North High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
