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.

The teacher can garret for creative writing is terrrible he outs students down and if they finish all of their work and say a word to their friend quietly he said and I quote " —- you win an award for being the most off tast anyone has ever been" and he always gives negative feedback to his students making them want to drop his class multiple times a week, o seriously think someone should sit down and have a talk with him about if he really deserves this job and if he does that he should be more nice to his students

Really prepares students for AP level high school coursework and produces well rounded individuals of varying backgrounds, ambitions, and passions.

Lanier middle school is a really good school. Most of the teachers are very nice and are very willing to teach. Only one thing that I would say that is bad about this school is the administrators are very mean and give dentations very easily.

Our kids we exposed to a lot of racism in that suburban school so we moved our kids into the city so they could specifically attend Lanier. We loved the div...

Let me start by pointing out how they managed to have all google reviews deleted. This alone says ALOT. They literally erased concerned parents and students voices. The school is infested with rats and other rodents. The students get in trouble for eating in class because of this infestation, yet te...
