I enjoyed my time at Loretto High school, and would recommend it to others. At Loretto High School everyone is a small knit community.

Loretto High School is a small-town high school that offers all college required prep courses. The faculty are all interested in every student and making sure they succeed in life. Loretto is rural so not every student is headed to college after high school, and they promote the trades as well as college.

It wasn't a great place to be. The teachers are very rude and the students aren't nice to one another. If I was to change it, I would pick better teachers than the ones there now.

I currently attend LHS and I canhonestly say this school has its good and bad overviews. Things come easily to me but sometimes even I have difficulty understanding a certain teacher's teaching method. Over all, this is a good school with a caring principal and lovable staff.

This school stinks, they never have homework, they study for major tests that are designed to give the school and teachers more moinies, but they hardly ever learn anything new. Unless you are a highly motivated, self starter on your own, this school is for babysitting only!
