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 Best part of Lower East Side Preparatory High school was winning back to back basketball championship. The worst experience I had was my basketball teammate passing away on our way to watch the school soccer team play.

Have been attending for over a year now. Pretty good maintenance and staff. I like that everything is informed via email or text, it's very helpful to keep tab on everything. One thing I must say is that the food is very bad, most of the time we get served the same three things, no diversity at all in that department.
