Lake placid high school is a very well rounded school. The school is always trying to find fun things for the students. The school is also great at keep an over all school grade point average. To be honest the worst thing about the school is maybe the lunch on some days but for the most part the school meets everyone's needs at all times.

The teachers where okay, the education was just alright, but people like Mrs. Irwin, and Mr Ramirez made Lake Placid HIgh School the best place to be. I went from a kid who had zero clue of what he wanted to do with his life, to a D1 football commit whos playing for the University of NH in the fall and studying political sci.

My experience is pretty good. My teachers were very nice for the most part. I do have a pretty good connection with some teachers that I can go to for help in life.

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.
