Loved it! Had a great experience overall in the last 4 years. A few very minor instances that were usually handled with care and respect
1/5/2025
My overall experience with Lower Merion has been rocky but overall its a great school academically, especially if you take your studies seriously and you want to go far in life. Lower Merion prepares you for the best scenarios based on how serious you take your learning. The school will do everything in its power to best accommodate your needs as a learner and help you succeed in life.

I've had a great experience at Lower Merion High School. I had no difficulty engaging in school activities and clubs. The teachers and staff members are extremely welcoming. The overall environment at Lower Merion is very friendly but sometimes, for the students, it can get competitive.

Those who say Lower Merion is a great school district should broaden their world view.
2/1/2018
Although a public high school, with LMHS dedicated staff, focused teaching, involved parents and great extracurricular offerings, this High School effectively prepares many students who are accepted at and attend Ivy Leaque and other prestigious schools.
1/18/2018
I really like this school and would recommend it very highly particularly to people who want their kids to be challenged and who want a diverse environment combined with strong academics. But if you want easy As, that is not a place you can get them. Be prepared to work hard for your grades.
5/25/2017
Outstanding college preparatory public high school. Comparable to elite private schools in academic rigor but more diverse.
