n After March 2020, students were remote but still received standard grades as long as they completed their coursework to their instructor’s satisfaction. Last year, the school returned entirely to in person instruction. For the last two years, LFA has held in-person instruction. n Due to the small class size of each graduating class, Lake Forest Academy does not rank its students. n LFA uses letter grades from A - F on an unweighted 4.0 scale. Grades A - D may have pluses and minuses. n Admission to advanced level and AP courses is decided by the appropriate department based on a student’s ability and success in previous coursework. n After exhausting current course offerings, upperclassmen may elect to pursue independent studies ranging from Software and Hardware Integration to Kinesiology. One semester of Independent Study equals a 1/4 credit. n Psychology is considered a science elective.
LFA’S NATIONAL MERIT RECIPIENTS n Seven seniors were selected as National Merit Semi-Finalists from the Class of 2023.
COLLEGE ACCEPTANCES 2019 - 2022 This selection demonstrates the myriad institutions our students are admitted to and institutions in bold indicate that at least one student currently attends.
