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.

I would personally, like to witness more accountability within my schools' community and just overall more respect when respect is given.

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.

Based on the results of my survey one may assume Lithonia High School to be a good for nothing institution. This is what I thought of the school going into it based on prior experience at Lithonia Middle School, but over the years I found it to be rather decent. The food may not be anything worth writing home about, and occasionally you may find yourself butting heads with teachers or staff, but Lithonia is quite average aside from things like that.

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

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...

The teachers and administrators are a joke. They are clearly there for a paycheck. There’s no compassion for the students.
