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.

Lassiter High school is a school that focuses on academics and clubs and activities mainly. We have many fundraises, food drives, and random pep ralleys. In terms on teachers, there is only a handful that are good at teaching, and a few that have ruined some subjects for me. Principal is great, classrooms are great.

Teachers are amazing and love their way of teaching. Overall Academics are great and clubs are very active with the community.

I loved the school for all four years. The sports and the music departments work together well to create a great event for games and other outside events. Many times, the school paid for multiple activities just because we did well in school.

It was a great school for our children! A great Band Program that teaches about “excellence” and teamwork as much as it does the finer points of music. The German program was also stellar. Thank you again to the Special Education teachers here and at Garrison Mill!!!!

Both my kids did well at Lassiter for different reasons, one being uninvolved in extracurricular activities and the other being highly involved. The BIGGEST plus is that the teachers at Lassiter really care if the children learn and they make efforts to make it interesting and challenging. One of my...
