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.

Overall an experience I enjoyed. Very diverse people and made great friends. Some faculty shine above others. Upgrades were in process before I left but, did not get to see them through. Education there is what you make of it.

I barely have any classes here because they give students the opportunity to take college classes that count towards graduation and an Associates Degree.

I just moved to LSHS from other state and I am very pleased how the students behave inside and outside of the classroom. Students here are more respectful, hard working, and motivated to do the work. The administrators are awesome and very supportive.
