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.

Loachapoka has the potential to be a great school but it lacks support and resources from school board officials. The students are offered very few class choices outside of the basics and extracurricular activities are practically nonexistent outside of sports. The building is very outdated and the food is terrible. Despite these struggles,the teachers are excellent and they are truly dedicated. They go above and beyond for every child.

In my opinion, LHS has good classes for m...
