Long Trail is a small very unique school. It's different than the average large highschool but in a good way. Everyone knows everyone, and the teachers really genuinely care about you and take the time to get to know you outside of the classroom. LTS also offers a lot of really cool trips including the Out West trip.

This school is predominantly white, so if you are a person of color you will not thrive here. I was bullied the entirety of the two years I attended. The head and staff were completely dismissive and did absolutely nothing to rectify the issues, instead they sided with the aggressors. I felt unsafe and casted out and felt forced to leave the school with one year left before graduation. Exiting was the best decision I could have made for myself.

Long Trail School offers a small and supportive community of teachers. However, the school's opportunities are somewhat limited and administration does not work to collaborate with/support teachers and students.

My daughter is thriving both academically and socially/emotionally at LTS. The teachers and team are phenomenal with middle and high school age people. Highly recommend.

My son thrives at this amazing school. He has supportive teachers that care for him deeply, a diverse group of friends who are caring rather than competitive, and unlimited opportunites for growth and leadership. We are so grateful for LTS, and look forward to sending his younger sibling next year.
