Lynwood District and Curriculum
The local school districts believes in providing a quality education with active support and plenty of extracurricular opportunities for its students. The curriculum, based on the Illinois Learning Standards, is rigorous and tested. Each subject has a series of standard for students to achieve in order to be proficient in the subject. The objectives are written at each grade-level and build on the same strands of learning each year. Strands of learning in Language Arts, for instance, consist of reading, writing, speaking and listening, and research skills. Community service is also emphasized so that students can become involved and engaged with their community.
We currently cover the following Lynwood-area school districts: Sandridge School District 172, Community Consolidated Schools District 168, and Thornton Fractional High School District 215.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lynwood District Curriculum
Students are informed of what they should have learned by the conclusion of each school year in each class. Classes focus on critical reading and critical thinking skills. Students read complex texts of varying types and formats. They read to understand the texts on a basic level but also to examine them for structure, authorial intent, and validity. Students are given guiding questions to answer and to spark discussion. They come up with ideas and theses and gather evidence from their reading to support their theses.
Science literacy is also emphasized, and students consider scientific problems and issues with real-world applications and situations. Students are also offered support to achieve each standard. Teachers modify their lesson plans to fit the individual needs of their students, whether that means advanced work to keep students challenged, or remedial work to help students catch up to grade level. The school also offers many extracurricular activities for students so that they can pursue interests in addition to academics.

Chalk Talk: Restricted Early Action
Restricted Early Action is an early application, usually due November 15, which restricts students from applying to other colleges until they received a decision regarding admission. It’s a rare application type, more of a predecessor to the more popular and more recent Early Decision type, and most colleges that offer Early Action don’t restrict it. Not many colleges offer Restricted Early Action applications, but those that do tend to favor it heavily. This means that students who apply Restricted Early Action have a much higher acceptance rate. They’re also competing against fewer other applicants. Colleges tend to favor students willing to apply Restricted Early Action, which also helps. Once they’ve been accepted, students are free to apply elsewhere, though few do.
