This School’s Reviews

4.0 Junior

10/29/2025

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.

4.0 Senior

9/24/2025

Lawrence High School was a good experience to say the least. Of course, it had it's up and downs, but through determination to finally graduate from that school, it was all fine. Food wasn't so great, particular students weren't the best. I truthfully don't miss it. I miss some of my teachers who were super kind and helpful, others, not so much. I had the opportunity to join some amazing programs like Early College, Gear Up, and YDO. Those programs made my junior and senior year all worth it. It was tough and hard taking college classes while preparing for college, but I don't regret any of it. The faculties I met were the kindest souls and they helped me so much. It was an experience that no matter how stressful it might have been, it was all worth it.

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.
