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.

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

Lawrence High School (specifically Abbott Lawrence Academy) does not offer equal or fair opportunities for any of its students. Additionally, the campus environment is hostile and unsafe. I would like to see a change in the way students are treated by their peers and by administration.

My experience with Lawrence High School is that I find it a decent School were they give you plenty of choices to learn and prepare you for collage. The best parts of my School experience are about learning about things that peak my interest such as biology or other types of sciences as I am very passionate about many scientific subjects. The worst parts of my school experience is that it seems like the school seems to be to rigorous and it does not have very many options for creative electives. What I would like to see changed is creative electives.
