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.

I don't recommend going to this school. I went to this school for 7th-8th grade and these years have been the worst years of my life. In 7th grade we had went through so many science teachers we basically didn't learn anything. During 8th grade the science teacher was not even there for basically the whole year. In ELA all we did was read books and didn't learn anything. All the teacher did was write up the students for mostly dumb reasons. We also had no field trips. The only teacher that helped me learn things was one of the assistant teachers. These teachers like to act like we are at fault because they chose this job. Our Social studies teacher also was always so rude and had an attitude with everybody. Another thing to add onto this mess is the teachers thought it was a good idea to blow whistles in the classrooms and hurt everybody's ears. We've had many teachers leave and others that just didn't show up for school. This is why I don't recommend enrolling your child here.

My son has been attending LCS since kindergarten and he’s now in 5th grade. He brings home straight A’s every year. I love the character education and other specials classes offered at this school (music, art, technology). The classrooms are more personal with a smaller student to teacher ratio. The...
