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.

This is my first year going to Lake Weir High School I'm a senior and I transferred from a different school and the experience so far is really good. At this school I actually got the chance to learn something without any distracting and with very passionate teachers. The school pride is spread all over the school even the staff participate in school spirt activities. I've made many friends with different ethnicities with beautiful personalities and I have the confidence to say that I'm more than ready for college since being at the school.

The best experience when you meet good friends, the worse experience is when you need help and the guidance counselor wont answer your emails.
