Lyman High School provides an education for their students. The faculty is welcoming and nice. I will say the the current students attending Lyman High School are not the nicest. As it is a small town, you definitely experience the small town drama. The coaching staff is a joke.

Most of the parents care about all of the students, obviously there are a few that do not. Overall the parental support system is magnificent and they really help the students succeed in every aspect of school.
