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.

Lewisburg High school will truly be an unforgettable part of my life. I have spent the last 12 years enjoying every moment and opportunity this school has offered me. Although some days getting up was rough but I knew I had friends and wonderful teachers awaiting me when I walked through the doors each day. I hope that Lewisburg will always stay as welcoming as it's always been and hope that many students to come can leave saying they enjoyed their time there.

My school has been great to me as a kid who likes to go the extra mile. However, if you're a kid who makes Cd and just in the middle it probably isn't so great.

Some of the staff can be a bit rude to students, but other teachers and administrators are amazing and caring. I love that as a senior, you know just about everyone's names. The ladies in the front office are some of the kindest people I've met, and the teachers are so caring. One thing I don't like is when late arrival students sometimes have to walk around the entire building from the parking lot. I don't mind the walk most times unless it's raining or super cold. Overall, Lewisburg gets a lot of hate from the students, but it is a good school.

This school would be a good school with a different principal and assistant principal (Perkins/Clark.) They clearly have a problem with foster/adopted children. Not sure what the issue is, but I’ve had to be very aggressive and involve a lawyer, the state board of education, a therapist and the assi...

Being a former student I feel lucky to have gone to Lewisburg High School. I was there when the school opened up and had a positive experience overall. The teachers work with students hands on and are there if you have any questions or concerns. The student body isn't that large compared to other sc...

I used to be a student, and I wish I could say Lewisburg is the school I got lucky enough to graduate from. It's the best school I've ever gone to, and I wish I could go back, more than anything. Go Patriots!
