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 has overall been good to me. Classes are challenging, but they pay off in the long run preparing us for college. The best part of Lassiter is the school spirit. Dress up days always get lots of participation. The worst part of Lassiter is the occasional bad teacher.

It's a decent school but often the students aren't listened to or taken seriously and every girl I know who has reported being assaulted has been brushed to the side and there is nothing done.

Lassiter is a challenging school that gets you ready for college, while still having a good experience. Teachers and administrators offer you independence to find out what you want and offer guidance. The music program is amazing and the directors are really good in ensuring everyone is learning and creating a positive environment.

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!!!!

Best 4 years of my life. All students are well behaved and those who aren't are felt with privately and efficiently. Great administrative group.

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...
