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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience with Lafayette is nothing but amazing. I was enrolled since kindergarten, and I made lifelong friends and mentors along the way. When it comes to the facility and staff, they do their best to ensure each student has what they need to succeed. I was a part of the band in middle school and high school and my band directors became like second parents to me. Another amazing part was the college-prep they offered so we knew what to expect when it came to the ACT and other aspects of college.

It's pretty good compared to what you hear about other schools. They tend to deal with things when problems arise.

The administrators truly do their best to listen to the students. They try to provide us with most of everything we want, as well as what we need. The only real problems I face with Lafayette are the students. They treat POC students terribly. I know my school is located in the south and majority filled with white students, but at some point the racist students should have to face some sort of consequences for their actions.
