Lorena is a school that cares about their students. I entered this district from a larger school and found it to be welcoming. Considering the smaller size, students tend to be less accepting of incoming students, but they are not unkind. The academics are incredible, and I believe my high school education was in good hands.

One thing I would like to change at Lorena High School is their bathroom facilities. The bathrooms are quite nasty and we are only allowed to use hand dryers, which have been proven to spread germs more than paper towels.

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

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...
