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.

My experience at Lagrange has been good. The education system isn't bad. I feel as though the students there don't feel the need to apply themselves and that could be attributed to the "culture" or standard set by other students. I feel as though my school gets a bad wrap for the few bad things heard about it but overall if all students were to apply themselves it would be a much better perceived and graded school.

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...
