As a current teacher and alumn of Lowndes Academy, I can verify that sports are important, but that is the same as any school that has a sports program. As far as the teachers being snobby, I came from public school to Lowndes and found that they were a family and treated me as though I were their own

After reading these reviews, I personally know 1 of the authors. Yes, his experience at Lowndes wasn't pleasant. However, no matter where you go to school it won't be perfect. As a student, there are many activites at our school besides sports. Sometimes you have to be self-motivated to participate. Given the other private schools in our area, Lowndes is very good.

I attended Lowndes in both jr and sr high. This school lost my records when I transferred my sr year and I was unable to graduate. I was also completely unprepared for college. There is very strong emphasis given to sports; little is given to academics. However, if you send your child to this school,
