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.

LPHS is a small school but it is enough for the small town. The best part is that you almost know everyone so there is a good connection between each other. The bad thing is that since it is small, there is not a lot of things to do and learn. What I would change is some of the classes and give more options.

Lake Placid High School is a great place to be for academics and sports. They have many activities going on but there following covid-19 guidelines so everyone can be safe and still have a good time.

The teachers care about their students very much. However, they do not have a lot of resources for those who wish to excel. Those who take advantage of the higher education courses undergo a lot of unnecessary difficulties.

This school targets specific races and allows the students to bully and threaten other students and teachers.

I went to Lake Placid High and I loved it. The A-day B-day schedule is awesome. You get so much extra time to do your work. A study hall to do your homework so you don't have to do it when you get home. Honestly I wish I could go back sometimes. I had so much fun.

I love that the student-teacher ratio is so much lower than other schools. Also the teachers are more experienced than in other high schools. Extra-curricular activities have more variety, as well. Eager to send our kids there after doing our research. Also, less school violence.
