GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Lyme is a small school, but a great school still. There aren't many people and it could do better in clubs and activities.

Lyme is very safe. The doors to the school remained locked during the day so no suspicious people can enter. If students are bullied they can easily access an adult or student to talk to. The police have came to Lyme with their K-9 unit to ensure a drug-free school. Overall Lyme is a very safe school; the kids do not want anything bad to happen. Safety is a collectively-shared ideal.

I have a son who attends this school. I can't speak highly enough about the great teachers and administrators. You can really tell when someone is passionate about their job.
