Lanier High School is honestly the best school in my opinion. Other than the minor bad things such as the food it's outstanding. The teachers are excellent and make sure that the students excel in their classes. There are many opportunities to get the students to be well prepared for college such as College Essential classes and AP classes. If I were a parent needing to enroll my child in a school, I would choose this one.

My experience at Lanier High has been very unique. Lanier has a lot of obstacles you must get over in order to get a good education. We have a team of teacher who actually love their students. We have students who are focus on the goals of their careers, extracurricular activities, or their post educational plan. the problems come in with the maintenance situation. I love my school but we are a very unorganized school. we have classes and programs such as Dual enrollment, CDC, and several AP classes .
