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.
