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.

on 10/2017 I went to an open house where I can visit the School while my son was in class, (English class) about 65 % of the students were yawning, out of respect I did not yawn, then I did remember my time when I was in school and felt sorry for the kids. There are teachers who can make their class really boring, they are more worried about moving with their material than actually caring about the kids learning.

Our experience has been very positive. The physical facilities definitely need a revamp, but everyone in the school is engaged, kind, and eager to help the kids get a good education. We transferred from a more highly-ranked school (according to GS), and our experience has been much better at Lee. Hi...

Very poor. The staff is unprofessional. The principal likes to over talk people and they do not answer questions. The school is dingy and dirty. The parking and drop off have no flow to them. Lack of planning and follow through. This place is a mess. Needs new staff.

There are kids who do not know how to add or subtract getting A's and B's because this is how the administration and the higher-ups have decided is the best way to make MCPS look l...
