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.

I have been a student at Lyme Central ever since I was in Pre-K. I think that it is very nice that the school is so small and that the high schoolers get to be a role model for the elementary students. I think it is a little stifling being with essentially the same kids in your class for your entire academic career before college, but the bond that you form with those kids is something very special.

This has been the worst experience in schools that we have had. I have never seen this type of tight bonding for some while making others feel defeated. Blatant acts of favoritism in front of children and adults, intentional abuse of powers in the hopes that those won't fight or won't know better al...

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.
