Lyon County High School is overall a good, small school where students are put first. With the school being so small, it is easier to talk to teachers and faculty however, the priorities within the school are severely misplaced. Instead of worrying about college and the readiness, the administration is too worried about dress code and what the girls specifically are worried and this has been a recent problem within the school.

Lyon County High School overall is a good high school. The school has helped me pursue a college education. In my duration of attending Lyon County High School, I was able to take multiple dual credit classes, and in result I ended with 19 credits. The only fault of attending this school is the last two years of high school my English classes were not helpful at teaching me anything, and I was not confident in my writing skills. However, overall Lyon County High School is a good high school.

Most teachers are more interested in getting things done for the sake of completing the required material. A few teachers make class interesting and are engaged with students.
