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.

I think the teachers at Lafayette are great. I feel challenged by the coursework. I only wish they had more computer science and coding classes available.

I've always had a lot of fun at Lafayette and the teachers there really care about the students. They see us as people and treat us as young adults with responsibilities.

Good class selection with teachers who help prepare you for college. There does need to be more diversity in teachers, classrooms, etc.
