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 overall experience at Lynden High School has been a positive learning and growth experience. There are a variety of activities to do not only involving academics but socially as well. Throughout the years I have made many friends, good teachers, and nice peers.

Overall, I did involve myself in a lot of activities/extracurriculars at Lynden Highschool. I joined the football cheer team, was and currently have been an honors society officer for 3 years. I also did knowledge bowl hoping to learn a bit more since Lynden is more of a sport strong school rather than academic. I joined Fbla for a while too, and made it to State. I would say Lynden needs to work on their students' access to counseling and prioritizing mental health but overall I think Lynden is a great school to be involved and find a pathway.

I transferred from Lynden Christian to Lynden in my sophomore year and I love it. The staff at LHS is amazing and I felt cared for and loved even when I first transferred. LC didn't have the right resources to help me, but Lynden does. I wouldn't trade Lynden for anything! I love my teachers and the staff that helped me!!

The emphasis is on true learning, not just taking tests and getting by. IF a student wants to learn, the teachers will go out of...

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 "...
