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.

Lehighton like all high schools has its issues and quirks, but the overall academic and cultural experience makes it five star in my books. My main complaint as of writing this is the ongoing two year renovation of the high school that has interfered with some classes. Otherwise, the teachers are great, the students are friendly, and the experience is unforgettable.
