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 daughter did very well in this school. I did feel at times that the school itself moved slower than other high schools in the area. I feel that they do not prepare the student for college life or the real world. But my daughter is graduating with honors and was accepted to a top NJ school.

LHS is a great high school to attend. All the teachers and faculty members are very kind and always willing to help however they can. I was very nervous my freshman year, but the teachers made my experience less scary and the subjects were very interesting.

Overall, I enjoyed my time at Lyndhurst High School. The academics there are great and we are offered many amazing clubs, sports, and volunteering opportunities within the school. The teachers are great and I don't have many complaints.

There are excellent teachers here who will go over and above for their students, there are also many who sit on their tenure, again, not like any ot...

As a student of this school I as well as others agree that the teachers don't teach well and some of them fail to teach and just give us videos. The new iPads we got are very cool and allow us to progress in education but on the other hand many kids just use it to play games. This school can certain...
