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 part of my experience at LNHS has definitely been their performing arts programs. I have participated in both orchestra and chorus throughout all four years of my time there as well as being involved with theatre. The performing arts teachers especially really care about their students and create a positive learning environment.

Overall, my experience with Lake Nona High school could have been better. My teachers have all been angels, but the administration needs to remain aware that everyone has an equally valuable voice. I do like the mascot, though.

I love Lake Nona High School. It has made me the student I am today. It has allowed me opportunities to participate in athletics at a level I never knew I could. I have learned what it takes to be a successful student and I know I am prepared to move on to college and continue to be successful.
