The teachers at Laurel Highlands Senior High School are amazing. They are kind and comforting and will assist with any problems you may have. The courses that are avaliable are diverse and there are alot of different academic levels to choose from. I would like to see tech kids being involved more in activities and receiveing information as the high-school students would who stay there all day.

As with many other school districts, LH has some very dedicated and caring educators. Academics is stressed, while sports status takes high priority. Overall education is satisfactory.

Laural Highlands High School is very spacious, plus it's not confusing to walk around in. The courtyard is very pretty and I enjoy sitting out there for lunch. The only thing I would change would be the administrator's involvement in serious affairs like bullying and in some serious cases, homophobia and racism because it's almost like they don't care and don't have the time to deal with it and make the students feel safer in their identities and skin color.

Went there from 1972-75. It was ok.Of course it was a different time, and people weren't so PC. Thank God.

Students are not treated equally. They care more about the appearance of the building than the education the students are receiving.

The teachers have always responded both professionally and in a timely manner when I have had a question. They also do not overload the student with homework. Now that they are remodeling, any other issues that I had with the district are beginning to disappear.
