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.

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 time at Lawton High was a mixed bag. I appreciated the dedicated teachers who genuinely cared, and the diverse student body offered unique perspectives. However, some facilities felt outdated, but extracurricular activities were amazing. Overall, it was a foundational experience with both strengths and areas for improvement.

A well diverse school but security isn't the best most of time you can just enter the building by going around without getting checked but have tons of cameras in place.

My experience with Lawton High has been definitely a good ride overall. From good teachers, to faculty that is more than willing to help, and finding some good friends along the way, it was not bad at all. While I found it hard myself to talk to others, albeit teachers or other students for help or assistance, the school taught me how to push me out of my comfort zones, even though I am pretty reluctant to do so. While I still don't feel the most prepared for anything, much less the far future that is waiting for me, Lawton High School has taught me to always take a leap into opportunities. I can't say I don't like my school. I like my school.

The counselors are always to busy to assist the kids and most of the teachers act as if they have the worst job in the world.
