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.

Some of the best parts of Lorena is the fact that we have a block schedule. It gets us ready for college schedules and gives students a way to distribute the work load. I love the fact that I was new, and was welcomed easily and transitioned into leopard pride which is apparent here. Some of the worst parts about Lorena is the lack of diversity. There's not very many colored people and i've seen and heard some racial stereotypes here.

It's just like every other school. They don't do much with bullying and racism. They need to work on that.

My experience at Lorena High School has been very good. I like how community oriented it is and that everyone supports programs going on in the community. One thing they could do better is being more inclusive with different activities but I think they are trying to increase inclusion in the school.

I am actually a student here and I think that this is a great school because we have some of the best teachers. But like other schools there is that one teacher you don't like. When I took the psat I was well prepared. The same for my eoc/finals. Overall it's a pretty great school.

This school is terrible with pure pressure of being "pretty", "rich", and "athletic" if you are none of those things you are barely recognized for anything. They play the favorite game in everything. (No exaggeration) The only thing that they do not do this in is FFA or Aggriculture class.

We moved to Lorena about 2 years ago and at first were impressed but learned of the political influence so heavily working against our children. My oldest child was cheated out of her well deserved class placement higher on the list. She would take a test and score above 90%. Students making a 80% w...
