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.

Combined with extracurriculars, my classes throughout high school have been very difficult. While I maintain an almost perfect GPA and am at the top of my class, I am stressed out to the max almost all the time

Extracurriculars at LQ aren't the best. Personally, club sports are better than high school league sports, and our clubs are a joke.

This is a school where everyone works together as a family team. My daughter has found here great teachers who teach, listen and care for their students. The community greets their new student as if they were always part of their family. The atmosphere feels safe. Bulling is handle in a professional...

wonderful, everyone is nice, the teachers the principles,counselor,students, and the staff members. There really good with helping you find things you've lost and there's even a boys in girls club right next to it, a student can walk to from school in like two minutes.
