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.

The school sports get a lot of attention and funding, but the theater gets barely anything. Things have to be on their last broken to even be thought about getting updated or replaced.

The best part of Lawson High School is the small student population because the teachers are involved with the student's lives and know who most of the students are. The worst part of Lawson High School is the food because the lunch ladies have come up with interesting food combinations and occasionally have run out of food by the third lunch shift. What I would like to see changed is better food options and more knowledge about college classes.

The environment is amazing. A huge plus to attending this small-town school is knowing that no matter what, some teacher, staff member, etc. will always provide you with what you need and be there any time of the day. I have been blessed to attend a school with such high standards and high academic and athletic records. This school feels like a big family, and I have excelled my whole life here.

The school I'm sure thought this team didn't have a chance of winning since they weren't willing to support it financial...
