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.

My overall experience at Laney isn't that bad but I do believe they can improve when it comes to lunch. Not even the food but the way that they conduct lunch can be improved. Laney is very strict now which can also be annoying but it is understanding. I believe Laney is a good school, it just needs more firm but nurturing and caring teachers/staff

I would rate laney 4 stars because it has a good support system with a wonderful staff that are willing to do any and everything for your child succeed. The only reason why I didn't give the school 5 star is because it needs to update some ppl f the technology and open up options for more teams and sports.
