The teachers were great, but they put funding towards things that didn't need the extra funding, instead of putting the money towards stuff that needed extra money. Very focused on sports.

I have enjoyed my past three years with LHS and I am ready for my final year one thing I think that needs improvement is the school food it's not bad but it's not great.

Average school district. Some teachers refuse to retire which leads to outdated material being taught. You basically have to teach yourself in these classes in order to pass. Among these educators there are a few who go above and beyond to help kids get the most out of their high school experience. Everyone at this school believes sports are more important than anything. We have award ceremonies solely for sports in addition to academics which makes it difficult for other students such as artists to get the recognition they deserve for accomplishments greater than field and track letter winners.
