This School’s Reviews

2.0 Alum

6/29/2025

Wow, while I can't say many nice things about the school culture overall, some of the teachers that I had there really made the experience worthwhile for me and have supported me even after leaving.

5.0 Senior

9/1/2024

My experience was really good, I had the opportunity to take early college classes which helped me a lot to get credits

4.0 Junior

11/16/2023

My experience at Lawrence high was okay overall. The nice parts were that they are extremely strong on culture, with many Hispanics which can make someone feel very warming coming from a different country not knowing much of the English language. The negative side of the high school was that there were many kid fights and gangs first going on , but they are now working on making the school a sanfter place.
