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.

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 loved the tight-knit community feel where everybody knows everybody. It's easy to network and create relationships with everyone around you.

I was there when L/N became L/N.... The transition was a little rough, but the staff, students, and community worked through it. Granted there was some bullying problems, as I'm sure there are with all schools. There were plenty of activities and academics. In fact when I graduated I already had a semester of my college classes completed. The teachers were very concerned in making sure everyone could succeed.
