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.

Lawrence high school doesn't get enough credit before I went I heard the worst about this school and I was terrified to go but once I stepped in I have met good and bad people of course you have bad experiences but that also comes with good ones too. I have never met teacher who care more about you then anyone else they really take the time to get to know you and the counselors really care about your well being even if its a bad day they sit down and listen to you there's so many way to meet your friends at this school there are many clubs and so many extra curricular to do.
