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.

Lafayette is a good school overall. In my opinion it did not cater enough to gifted students but it was okay.

I loved going to Lafayette high school. The feeling of family and the sense of belonging can't be duplicated. I would like to see more programs for science and math. Maybe, incorporate a medical program that you can have opportunities to mirror healthcare professionals.
