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.

The teachers for the most part are pretty great, they really care about you as people. The only issue with that I would say is if there is a teacher that people have issues with, admin doesn't seem to care. I love the arts such as choir, band, and ceramics. They are great programs and really let you discover what you are passionate about.

This school doesn’t care about lower income students and families and failed all three of my kids

Keeping your kids involved and communicating with them about school and all aspects is important for overall well being of your children. My kids played sports and had a great core friend group.

My boys enjoyed the swim team and took several AP courses. They had several engaging and encouraging teachers. The school was recently refurbished and looks awesome inside. Just as good or better than Free State.

My son and daughter both attended LHS. Excellent teaching staff, particularly in the AP classes. Outstanding orchestra, band and choral programs. Debate and forensics students compete at national levels. Overall, a great experience.
