We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Well I feel this school has helped me grow. I was shy and introverted at first but after a year i was able to come out of my shell. I feel this school offers a lot to the students and it's really homey. I honestly loved being here an it'd be nice for other people to give it a try too!

Lyons Community School, has a lot of interesting experiences, but it has a very small community of students, so you feel like you grow together and come together as a family. It also helps students be able to ease their way into education and also good and bad of hand holding and second chances. It also helps students be able to feel more connected and not too pressure by teachers, they're more ser to be friends, because they eliminate the Mr. , Ms, and Mrs.

This school is a very diverse school. It is a school where you're able to be you and no one will ever judge you for it. Support is something you get from everyone as well as emotional support. I feel like teachers really push you to do your best. Academically is the area I feel like they can improve on but overall great school.
