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.

My school is very big on making students feel heard and welcomed. They strive to help students meet their needs and are very kind. They provide lots of support and are always there to help you if something is wrong. The teachers guide and prepare you for your future life outside of high school.

I like how they offered multiple AP classes, although I wish some of the content were more challenging.

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 "...
