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.

Classes are amazing, teachers are great, not enough AP classes and food is horrible Overall I would say this highschool is a substandard place for students. I also say that they need more teachers that are more hands on and out of the boxm

In my opinion, Lake Worth is a fantastic school. However, I believe that there is room for improvement in terms of campus security. Given the size and open nature of the campus, it would be beneficial to address the issue of open exits that risk for students. Additionally, it seems that students have relatively easy access to leaving campus, which could be cause for concern.
