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.

Teachers tend to push too much on you, others assign work on top of more work to the point you can't catch up. However there are teachers that take their learning strategy slowly which is what I like. Overall a lot of sports, clubs and activities to do. We have a navy program called ROTC which is pretty fun. Transportation: Bus or just your regular old car. The food in lunch is excellent, really good. We do have a lot of tutoring here so

Linden Highschool has new security and is very serious about the safety of the kids, the teachers care about their students education and grade very fairly. With new added YONDER POUCHES their parents can no longer contact them via phone and have to contact the school's main office to speak to their kid. There is also a option to have free or discounted lunch for some kids that qualify.

Overall , I have had a good ecperience with Linden High School. The teachers and counselorus were always kind to me and would always help me whenever I needed it. I developed a strong connection with them over time. Throughout the years, I have also grown closer to all my classmates. There were even a year when the school would allow us to have one break day in the month so we could have a mental health day. Which I thought was very relaxing and a way to let all of your stress go. My experience with Linden High is something i'll never forget.

My peers and friends in my University claimed it either did not feel different, or was in fact easier. They all come fr...

I am studying at this school and would like to share my impressions, maybe someone will be interested. Let's start with the attitude of teachers towards students. In general, no teacher treated me poorly; on the contrary, some teachers were very kind to me and tried to help me because I am a foreign...

If you want your kids to excel, Linden High School may not be the best option. As a result, teachers are not teaching, the kids are learning through youtube videos, and when asked for assistance, responses such as "should have paid attention" are given. The teacher called my son an idiot when he did...
