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.

Lavaca High School was where I made friends with people that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have them in my life. It's also where I learned how to be more out going. Despite meeting great people I would like to see more electives, AP classes, and art classes.

Nice school, good teachers, lots of clubs and activities to choose from. Friendly atmosphere. There could be a larger variety with the food.

Lavaca High School isn't necessarily a "Bad School". I personally haven't enjoyed my 4 years here but I also believe most of that has to do with me. I never put myself out there to actually be apart of something therefore school has never really been enjoyable for me. The staff here at Lavaca are very helpful and are determined to give the best education to their students. They're always looking for ways to better their educational system and improve student scores.
