as a sophomore i have seen a decent amount of things inside of this school. I never feel like i belong. all students deserve a school they feel proud to be at. this school takes student issues to be a joke. anytime i had an issue i was disregarded. Its not a bad school. the people, administration and building are the problem. i wish i could be proud to be here. it is what it is.

The best thing about Lansdowne is how accepting they are there are a lot of culture events where you get introduced to new food, languages, and culture clothes you will never feel left out. The worst part of Lansdowne in my experience is the safety I know this not the school fault but the smell in the hallways and the constant fights.

She cares more about her e...

The students here all mind their own business and I have seen little to no bullying. I have seen more fights and arguing in my f...

Lansdowne High School, I would like to praise the Teachers and Staff who work with the Academy of Finance Students. My office has had the privilege of hosting some of their students over the past 4 years and I find them to be intelligent, polite and genuine young people. Four of my own family member...
