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.

I wish that the teachers would not only be more involved with the content they're teaching, but work individually with students to build connections and ready them for not just college, but life after highschool. I like how they offered multiple AP classes, although I wish some of the content were more challenging.

People really do get involved into the school. A lot of old players will come back and help coach which is very inspiring. The overall atmosphere at all sporting events is nothing like you have ever seen or heard. The school is getting really old, but it has done it's job. Lynden has given me the best experience of my life.

I enjoyed most of my teachers but didn't like the lack of more advanced classes they offered. I love the sports that the school offers though. I played football and soccer. I won two state championships in football and watched my school's basketball team win two state championships as well. I'm honored to be part of the best class in the state and of all of Lyndens history's

Terrible. I am a current student here. There is favoritism, a disregard for bullying and student issues, as well as no effort to resolve sexual assault and bullying itself. (Victim here!!) You get bullied if you're not cookie-cutter "lyndenite". You have to be christian, straight, white, blonde, con...

I am a former student of Lynden High School. If youre not a favorite of the teachers you're going to have a hard time getting through your classes. The same students that went to Lynden 20 years ago or even longer ago are teaching the classes now so its not like anything has changed. The so called "...
