My overall experience here has been great. I've join five clubs in my two years at LHS. I've found great resources that allow me to take maine collage courses online. A great education system, the teachers and staff are the most helpful and kind.

I am from a much smaller, charter school of only 350 people, so I did not know much about public schools. It has been a very pleasant experience so far. I was expecting it to be more chaotic, but whenever I was looking for directions to a class, anyone was willing to direct me, teachers and students. In class learning was also very good because the classes are never too big, my teachers know my name, and understand what each student needs. The only thing I would like to see changed is more serious, school run clubs, as well as mes's volleyball.

LHS has been a great school in which to work with caring teachers, administration, and staff members. After working at LHS, I would have no problem with my children attending this high school. Great strides are being made here and the staff expects the growth of students as learners and citizens.

People get bullied and harassed and nothings ever done about it. I'm about to get homeschooled because of this school. Don't send your child th...

the main problem with this school is the staff. they are very disrespectful. change the staff and principle and the school would improve. also I have noticed that there are teachers that don't really know how to teach, which the test scores prove that.
