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.

Lawrence High School treated me well. My teachers were all good to me and always helpful. There are multiple ways that you can involve yourself in this school such as music , fine arts, and athletics.

Student life is just terrible . It was the worst 4 years of my life and I never ever in my life want to go back. I hated everything about the school. Except for some teachers. I liked the foreign language and art teachers.
