My overall experience at Laney isn't that bad but I do believe they can improve when it comes to lunch. Not even the food but the way that they conduct lunch can be improved. Laney is very strict now which can also be annoying but it is understanding. I believe Laney is a good school, it just needs more firm but nurturing and caring teachers/staff

Laney High school has played a huge part in my high school life. I've been at Laney for all four years and it has been great. I attended four sports there. The support system is honestly great, you will always know when a wildcat is in the building because we support to the fullest. I love every part of my school. The Academics are definitely high standard, which sets you for your future plans.

I liked being in an environment full of people who looked liked me and being able to relate to my circumstances. I wish that they provided better college readiness courses and education for the students.
