Lowery Freshman Center is much an improvement for people living in rural/small areas. Being a freshman-only building, it feels like you're not in high school while still reaping some of the benefits. However, it could improve student health, as it seems to push kids too far. Also, this school does not focus nearly enough on on-level students.

Lowery Freshman Center is a great place to start off high school. The opportunities they provide are incredible. They help you through the first year of high school which is usually stressful. They also provide great resources to plan out your future in a well organized way.

Do not send your child to this hell hole. Lowery is the definition of what you don't want in a school. Administration is useless, the kids behave horribly and with zero respect.

There are fights that happen at this school on a weekly basis my daughter does not feel supported at this school and worries about getting jumped.

It’s been a big adjustment from middle school, but I think that’s pretty normal. The AP classes are a little interesting and I’d probably not recommend going that route unfortunately. Also, the Art class my child is in is also interesting. That’s my child’s lowest grade believe it or not. Everything...
