Very small friendly community, when I transferred from Brookhaven high school i didn't know what to expect. The only thing bad about this school is the bullying and lack of initiative towards bullying

Both my parents graduated from Loyd Star and it is home to me. It is an excellent school with a awesome atmosphere of love, support, academics, sports, and family. I will be a proud graduate of the Loyd Star Hornet 2019 class!

This school used to be really good. Now it just SUCKS! No one cares about the students anymore…these so called adults are just their for a paycheck, it’s like prison going here. I can count on one hand how many teachers are genuine at this school…I’m on the verge of pulling my kids out. Don’t enroll...
