My overall experience at Lithonia High School was pretty good, I have had some rough times at school but my peers and teachers really helped me push through. Extracurricular activities really helped me take my mind off of things especially when I have had some tough games but overall the faculty and staff really care about us students and how we strive to be great.

The best part of my experience at Lithonia High School is the people that I've met and befriended. Although, I don't believe anything at this school is extremely bad, but there are a few things I would like to change. Firstly, I would like the school to be more organized. I feel like they could do a better job catering towards students education. Also, included every learning style into their lessons to make it inclusive for every individual.

being at lithonia has taught me so much. I have gotten the chance to meet and socialize with other, even has had the chance to network with others. Being at lithonia high school has taught me how to be a better version of myself. I've gained many friends and gain many opportunities. I love lithonia and I will forever be a bulldog.

The questions I have are: 1. Am I allowed to...

As an educator, my faith in public education is lessened when I know there are people as incompetent as our admin and how he managed to secure his spot. It is beyond sad, but not as sad as the fact he patrols the internet regulating unflattering comments about himself and then generates fictitious p...

This school has people whose main goal is to be in your business and not help. My kid had a problem and the counselor instructed the teachers not to give her the makeup work. In addition they wrote a letter stating if you don't graduate any college you were admitted to will not let you attend. Well...
