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 thought that the teachers were mostly very kinda but I wish that the counselors were able to help with college more than they offered.

Most teachers cared very much about you. But I onyl felt that way in my honors classes. I wish we could've done more for our school pride. There isn't much to brag about from our school.

Coming from an AP Scholar alum whose father was on the Board: the vast majority of resources are poured into underachieving students. If your kid is smart, they're going to hate it here. Send your kids to LCDS instead if they have any inkling of intellectual curiosity.That said, still better than Do...
