My children have had such amazing experiences at FSHS versus when they went to LHS. At FSHS the teachers care about the children, unlike LHS.

When I was at free state, I really enjoyed being able to have more of a personalized experience. I feel that the teachers and faculty made it really easy and accommodating for my disability and I have a lot of great memories from being there and I believe in terms of programs, they're one of the best at how they do it And I always felt Royal respected and treated. Kindly and the teachers were always great. That's something that I always thought was a really interesting thing for our school

Compared to other schools, Free State is a decent school to attend with pretty good teachers and a nice community.

I am currently while writing this a Student of FSHS. Free State is obviously the best school of Lawrence, no bias, everyone knows it, and while in middle school people fight to get transferred and to insure they get to go to FSHS. It's the highest in academics in the region. It's clubs and extracurr...
