Lawrence high provides lots of opportunities for students. Teachers give lots of help for example after school hours and has others services to give support. However this school has no school spirt.

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.
