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.

LGHS is definitely not one of the elite Henry Co High Schools. School grounds are not kept up, follow ups from the teachers are extremely poor, the timelines of grades and support from administrative staff is definitely hit or miss. One week the teachers will be on top of things then it will be 2 weeks later they try to catch up and will put in missing to cover themselves and change when they get around to it. If you can consider another school I would strong recommend doing so.

High school here was okay but it's mainly the student life and culture that was concerning. There's always something going on. Fights, lockdowns, situations, and issues with substance use
