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.

What I liked most about my school was how helpful my principal was. He was always there for us, giving us what we needed and wanted, giving us the benefit of the doubt, he was great to us. He was so great to us that it allowed all the staffs to have a visual of how they should treat us, and so that is what they did. They treated us with the same respect and care as my principal leaving us to behave in the same manner. I transferred to this school from Grand Street and I can genuinely say that I've made the best choice by doing so. I was so happy in this school. The staff even helped me graduate earlier than I was originally supposed to, making me the first out of my family to graduate.

My experience at LESP has been amazing. Transferring here was the best decision I have ever made. I made so many new friends that are so mature and who really look put for you. The teachers are great, they really care about everyone and know most of the students names. They try to make everyone feel involved and are always think of new ways to make the school more fun. The entire school is really supportive and everyone is pretty nice. LESP Has forever changed my life for the better.
