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.

Lewis Central Senior high school provides a safe environment for students and has great teachers. Some of the flaws would be with the punishment system in our school. I've seen on multiple occasions where students aren't punished fairly. We do have a great athletic program though.

I did not have a great experience at Lewis Central. I struggled because it is very cliquey and if you didn't know the students your whole life, you can't really be friends with them. The staff are okay. There are a few amazing teachers like Taylor May. He's awesome. I really enjoyed being involved in the arts. It was a very supportive group.

I would complain about the students as a lot of them don't take school as seriously as I do so it can be hard sometimes to work in an environment with them.

The curriculum challenges students to think outside the box while using the most a...

I absolutely loved this school and most of the people, most of the teachers are nice and outgoing, and the school isn't massive and its easy to navigate through. The hallways are a little crowded but you get used to it. The kids there are a little stuck-up but it just depends on who you're hanging o...
