Gary Lighthouse is a small but highly effective high school that has shown consistent improvement since my freshman year. The school prioritizes the well-being of its students and continues to enhance its programs each year."

I've been at lighthouse sense fourth grade and it hasn't gotten better even sense I graduated. No school culture and no motivation .
3/6/2020
I would like the school to progress as far as academics and extracurriculars, because the school is not that good in those departments. Students don't have many activities to participate in to further their academic knowledge. In the past four years, the students haven't had any type of freedom, which has caused them to act out. So, I believe that if the Administration makes a few changes, the school will become a success.

Leadership do not take accountability for actions.
3/13/2017
All they do is send your child home when he or she has an behavior instead of redirecting the child and continue to teach them , they take the easy way out and send them him or her home and that's not doing anything but stopping them from furthering there education.

Gary Lighthouse College Prep, Graduating 100% of the senior class with 100% accepted to colleges is fantastic. Principal Hart and her staff deserve the lion's share of the credit. This is a great school.
