Lyman High School is a fairly good school for academics, sports, and the overall high school experience. Although these facilities are not quite up to date yet, the engineering program that Lyman offers is essential and effective at teaching engineering. Even though the sports teams and coaches aren't exceptional, the faculty still does their best, and that's what truly counts. Overall, Lyman High School is a decent high school to attend.

I would like us to support are sports program more better. I feel though as we focus to much on one sport that the others don't get enough attention. Teacher could be more nicer and the admin actually need to follow there own rules.

Some things that have to change at Lyman High school is the amount of kids that disrespect the teachers. Because of all the disrespectful kids the teachers end up leaving.
