Overall I really enjoyed my time at LZHS the teachers really want to see you succeed and there are many opportunities to get involved. However, there's not a ton of school spirit. Although it might be because sports don't seem to be the highlight so far this year.

I love all of the resources my school has to offer me. There is always somewhere for me to go to get help with every subject, and they are available every period. They also have great people around to help with every step of the college application process.

In my experience here I will give the school credit for trying to have every student succeed and allow for college prep, Ap classes, and many activities/sports. Although at what cost…Most of the kids in my class ended up with some kind of drug addiction and or mental health issue. It seems the schoo...

This school doesn’t cater to kids with any problems weather that be Income, Mental health, Special needs or racial issues. Racism is still very alive here and privileged kids struggle with drug addiction that is never overlooked or brought up.
