I attended Lawrence High school all four years. Various accommodating teachers made classes fun while creating a safe and comforting environment. I grew and changed a lot thanks to the kindness and help offered by the staff at Lawrence. The traditions truly made me feel like a part of the community. Truly walked away with many memories.

The lunch is okay. The teachers are nice. I would recommend Mr. Duran as a teacher. The school is great.

The best part of Lawrence for me is the teachers there. There are a surplus of great teachers that are ready and willing to help kids succeed. Of course there are some not great ones, but overall they make the school better.
