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 just recently transferred to Lyons High School my Senior year of High School after my dad got a job at the high school. I had previously heard bad things about the town but I have made so many positive people that have helped me. I also have had mentors in the staff guide me towards my future.

Lyons gives a great opportunity to get involved throughout high school. The teachers are very good and show that they only want the best for us students. Lyons I feel like is not getting me ready for college, it is getting those who are going straight into the work force a great oppotunity to get a job after graduation.

My overall experience at this school has been okay. The school has some excellent qualities and some okay qualities. Most teachers care about students and help tend to help the students who want to thrive. Some of the teachers don't know what they are teaching or they don't find the best ways to teach everyone at once. They help each individual/group one at a time instead of the whole class at once. I didn't like when teachers gave you a worksheet and expected you to fill it out reading a text book or article off the internet.
