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.

The best part about limestone is the staff here. The administration is very friendly and care about the students. The teachers want to form relationships with their students. I would like to see change with some time management regarding after school and extra curriculars.

The best parts of limestone is definitely all the different activities you can get involved in. There is something for everyone with all the different sports, clubs, and events. The biggest downside is definitely the overall culture of the school. There can be a lot of fights and other similar problems that make the school look bad.

I am a senior at LCHS, and the school is quite good overall. They offer good classes and prepare students well for college. The school spirit is high, but on the opposite side of the spectrum, there are fights like every week and everyone seems to hate each other. Additionally, there is always drama and arguments over social media. However, most teachers and staff genuinely care about students and want to see them succeed.
