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.

So far Lufkin High School has been an amazing school for me to attend. Academics and sports are a big thing in our school. I play the flute in our band program.

Not a good school. Students are horrible and always starting some stupid drama that the teachers do little to nothing about, food is half edible or tastes expired, minimal amount of clubs, policies are rarely actually upheld. Not impressed.

Overall, the experience is average. Student fights do happen occasionally. There is a rule called the "20/20 rule" where you can't use the restroom for the first and last 20 minutes of class. Many of the student restrooms are locked to avoid smoking and unlocked restrooms have long lines or are full constantly.
