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.

I enjoyed my high school experience, majority of teachers were friendly and kind. My math teacher for pre calculus helped me majorly with tutoring so I can could pass the class.

I have a Freshman and Junior at LHS and I have to say we are all disappointed. The students show very little respect for their teachers and the teachers do not follow through on discipline. The only class my 11th grader likes is a social studies class because all of the students in this class want t...

As a former English instructor at the local community college, I taught many LHS students. Very few were proficient. Most had little knowledge of grammar. Many struggled with writing a basic essay.
