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.

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.

Lake Weir High school is very focused on their academics mainly for the smarter students. The worst part is that the administrators seem to care more about what a student is wearing and saying rather than their actual education. Many teachers don't actually teach their students, they show them a slide and give them a paper. Not everyone can learn that way.

Some exceptional teachers and good programs, but all-over lacks in guidance, resources, care for student wellbeing, and communication between faculty & admin.
