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.

Severe lack of diversity. Some staff members are rude to incoming families from out of state. For a public school, too many things are supported by local churches. They don't require physical education and their health class is lacking. Also... no library? At a school? Not totally surprised as this is Texas, but disappointing to say the least. I don't want my kid to go here, but its either that or Christian charters. I think LVHS is the lesser of the two evils, but I'm still not a fan. Neither is my kid.

I loved going to school here. The best part for me was the wonderful teachers. I had many people that I will miss when I graduate this year.

With two girls having benefited from Lago Vista ISD I’m compelled to write a current review. The high school campus is beautiful with an unmatched view. Construction on old and new facilities continues, proving the budget is approved to keep up with this area’s growth. The courses offered are varied...

I can tell you that this school is full of people who love kids and want to do the right thing. They teachers work hard and do whatever it takes for kids to succeed. My graduate wouldn't have made it without the team of teachers and admin that pulled her through. They really care.
