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.

LACES is a really good school, if I am going to be honest. The amount of AP classes that they offer is astonishing, and they really push students to be competative in the classroom. It's not uncommon for students to be taking 3 APs during 10th grade since every other student is taking a simillar amount. The colledge readiness is really good and the enviroment is pretty friendly. Great school.

This school is good over all. I don't like how since it is middle school and high school that there is lack of discipline with the middle school students. I think that they need to be more guided to avoid bad habits of not wanting to be at school. I do like the diversity at that school and students being able to showcase their culture across clubs. As well as sports there is a good variety and many students are encouraged to participate.

LACES is a pretty good school. there are tons of school events and school spirit. The academic work is very rigorous though and it is a norm on campus to take at least 3 APs. Most of the teachers are really helpful.

There is way too much pressure on the students and way too much homework. It is not a fun experience for students....

I just graduated from here like two months ago. Worst 7 years of my entire life. I went to this school thinking that it was going to be an enlifting educational experience and all I really got was trauma. There is a massive bullying problem for the middle schoolers and I feel like the school needs t...

Extremely Bad....I started with a child who loved school and loved to learn. Very bright and confident. I was left with a child who I had to literally force to get out the car when dropped off in the mornings. Confidence plummeted. I know many have heard good things about this school. So did I. I th...
