Lafayette was a great high school with amazing staff and resources. I attended here for four years and during this time I was able to take challenging courses to ensure college readiness.

Lafayette is a great school that has offered me academics and the arts! It is challenging, bug allows time God extracurriculars.

The school is older and run-down. The inside is also too small for the amount of students that attend the school and the school has a distinct unpleasant smell. The teachers are nice and friendly, especially the art teachers. I think the school should be remodeled for the safety and just for the pleasure of the students. The teachers are also very understanding most of the time and are willing to work with students.

My son hasn't been there to long. This is his first year but so far he loves it and is happy. He hated Jessie Clark Middle School and he is happy to be at Lafayette. Teachers seem caring and willing to work with the kids.

For the 2014-15 school year my daughters French teacher changed 3x (main teacher - sub - main teacher back a few months later) and her Chemistry teacher changed 4x...the main teacher leaving early in the school year and the fin...
