Music and arts departments are stellar. Everything else is a joke. Teachers need to be held more accountable and more screening needs to be done. More funding needs to go to the music department because that's the only thing most people care about.

I think I had a pretty mediocre time at La Porte had some high highs and low lows. Lots of teachers here don't really seem to care for a students opinion and won't reach out to help a student. The office propel and most administrators are pretty cool and very friendly. Overall I would give my high school experience a 7/10.

My overall experience with Laporte High school is probably the best experience I couldn't have with any other school. I have had the best and worst years of my life there, and I couldn't ask for anything more. I'm so glad to end my senior year here and look ahead to the future I will have outside of this school.

This school has issues. Some teachers don't care, there's a drug problem, and it's got a C from the state. However, there are a few elite teachers that really show what it means to be a slicer. Without these select group of elite teachers, this school wouldn't be worth going to. They make learning a...
