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.

The teachers are really passionate and good at their jobs. Sadly the teachers and school don't have much funding, as for more then 20 years the tax rate for the school budget hasn't increased and as such, many good teachers are leaving to find a more liveable salary. Also, not many new teachers are incentivized to work at LPHS, so less classes are being offered, classes are being joined, and online classes are used as an insufficient substitute.

I thought that the campus was very nice. Administrators were very kind and helpful, however counselors were clueless and lazy. Most teachers were easy going enough, and the amount of homework was fine, if not too much. I felt that there wasn't enough freedom. Out of 4 electives, 2 were taken by mandatory classes, one was taken by a foreign language, and one was taken by a religion class. So none of my electives were just for me.

The school is overall well put together with many teachers who are caring and willing to help. However the social climate of the school is very underwhelming.

Safety is my concern. The safety officer is more concerned about his popularity than serving as a safety officer. Please staff with an experience officer versus one who has shot two boys. The officer couldn’t protect himself! He uses his weapon.

The school social worker is known as the town gossip and not well respected. Please investigate before D 38 lands themselves in court as a result of her actions.

Some of the administration and teachers truly care and others (Chris Kintz) would rather win the wiener waving contest than do what is right for kids. I’ve never met an educator less oriented towards growth and learning. Thank goodness he is gone this year! Maybe the kids will get a break from the r...
