This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
6/24/2024
Lower Merion Highschool is a great school that provides students with so many opportunities. Such opportunities include a variety of activities, sports, and clubs.
4/27/2024
This is an academically good school if you choose to take AP classes, but otherwise it's not hard except for honors math. Some of the teachers here are terrible but most are good. The food is disgusting mostly, except for sushi Thursdays.
6/28/2023
The school is a very flexible and open place, but many of the rules set here are pointless and ineffective. I would love to see some changes in the rules and how the school is run, specifically with parking, IDs, and sitting around the school.

Those who say Lower Merion is a great school district should broaden their world view.
2/1/2018
Although a public high school, with LMHS dedicated staff, focused teaching, involved parents and great extracurricular offerings, this High School effectively prepares many students who are accepted at and attend Ivy Leaque and other prestigious schools.
1/18/2018
I really like this school and would recommend it very highly particularly to people who want their kids to be challenged and who want a diverse environment combined with strong academics. But if you want easy As, that is not a place you can get them. Be prepared to work hard for your grades.
5/25/2017
Outstanding college preparatory public high school. Comparable to elite private schools in academic rigor but more diverse.
