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.

The best experience is always being with your friends and having classes with them. Also our sports teams were pretty good so playing sports was enjoyable. The bad parts were teachers picking favorites and not always giving you the help you needed because they were done with school too.

I consistently saw the quality of education and experience at Ladysmith decrease during my enrollment there. What made me saddest was the disregard for the music, art, and drama programs, which were consistently and increasingly cut. The extra curricular activities have neither funding nor participants, which is saddening. However, I was lucky to get in a few good years there before things started going downhill. I still knew many teachers who had a positive influence on my life, and who sincerely cared about the students. I had enough opportunities to give me a well-rounded experience. All in all, it just was my high school experience. There are things I don't remember fondly, but it still got me to where I am today, and I'm thankful to have had the opportunity for public schooling.

I have had an awesome English and History teacher. I am moving toward a degree in English teaching. Those teachers helped me a lot. I was very glad otherwise to finish at this High School and move forward to college.

For a small school, it does the best with what it has, and it's perfectly fine. The school offers so many opportunities and will set your student up with a good background in whatever they are interested in (i.e. art, music, math). The school is generally very clean and the students at least aren't...

As the building principal at Ladysmith High School for the past 5.5 years, I would point out that all students who qualified for early graduation have been granted their requests. Students have always been allowed up to two periods a day for work release and, in some cases, have been granted even mo...

The high school is very limited in available courses, especially by the time your child reaches their senior year. Most kids have completed all graduation requirements by the end of the 1st semester in 12th grade. They will not allow students who have jobs who have reached required credits to leave...

Since they are lacking in available courses, by 12th grade you can count on your child to be put into worthless elective classes such as a 2 hour auto shop class, or an extra gym class. While your child could be taking a few elective courses, allowed to leave school early to work at their job to hel...
