Lawrence Nelson is an average school. There is not a lot that goes on here, but the staff and resources are decently good. The best part about this school is their assistance into your readiness for college.

LN is an awesome small school with a lot to offer the students. I put 3 kids through with my last one this year. The downside of our great school is the unification with Sandy Creek.

I've been going to Lawrence Nelson since pre-school. Everyday the teachers encourage and challenge you to do better than your best, and to be the best person you can be. They are also always there for you if you are having a hard time the teachers are very understanding. All together a good atmosphere.
