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.

L/N claims that we lack financial help to offer honors classes to assist students. My freshman year we had 4 valedictorians and 3 salutatorians because they all had maintained a 4.0 throughout their four years, yet if we had honors classes the GPA itself would establish the single honor. I also find it annoying because it restricts you from furthering your strengths in a certain study or class.
