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.

I loved the staff because they have been very understanding and helpful during my pregnancy and after I had my handsome son. They gave me the resources for child care and put me in programs to help me graduate early. The fighting is a bit much because they fight almost every day. Teachers are very generous people. The coaches are the best but I don't know about the sport. They academics are challenging but I really like the challenge and it keeps me on my toes. Teachers should always be accommodating to your needs. This means they will change the way they teach you to make sure you learn to the best of your ability. You might use this word if you feel as if you don't have to make much of an effort and still get good grades.You would similarly use this one if you think perhaps you're in a class that's too easy for you and so you don't study or try, but will still pass with flying colors.An engaging lesson is usually one where the students can actually participate, rather than sitting .

LaGrange was a great place for me because I was in the University Program. This program is for academically excellent students. It was great to be considered one of those students.

LaGrange highschool is an okay school, but it is severely underfunded. Being hit with two major hurricanes back to back. It is the most underfunded and unwell kept school in Lake Charles.

This is a horrid school. I am ashamed that I did not sell my house and move to get my children in a better school. This is by far the worst school I have even heard of. The vast majority of students at this school are not going to be able to attend college, and those that try will end up having to d...

My experience with the staff was very disappointing, and how they handle bullies is very unacceptable. They allow alot of things to slide thru the cracks
