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.

Some of the kids there were extremely rude and didn't care about others, but the ones who did care made up for it. While some teachers did not teach very well, others were extremely kind and thoughtful. My 8th grade year at Lost Mountain was the best year of my middle school career. I had great teachers and was friends with more people than in 7th grade. There may be bad in this school, but as long as you focus on the good, things will work out better.

This school is terrible, honestly! They serve us sandpaper with cheese on top. A teacher in the 6th grade didn't care at all when I found another students farewell note. The teachers don't care about the students. I was mentally unwell in 6th grade, and I only had one teacher I could talk to because...
