Lynn Classical High School has proven to be a great school for the city but only a decent school for the state.

3.0 Alum

9/5/2024

I would say that going to the school allowed me to meet many teachers who were very passionate about teaching their topic. The people varied from class to class, but for the most part, it was a supportive environment to learn in. The school could benefit from some administrative changes, but overall it was fine.

3.0 Senior

4/28/2024

Despite the lack of education provided, it does offer a lot of clubs and organizations to participate in, as well as support from teachers and other staff members. It's a very diverse school, and is able to bring a lot of inclusion.

While the school celebrates its diverse student body, groups/cliques based on the ethnicity/race of the student are often the norm. Only a handful of studen...

This school is great if you want a good education. Most of the teachers here will always put the students first and make sure every student gets the help that you need if they're struggling in academically. When I went here and I struggled and didn't care about my grades, the teachers would always d...
