As a former student at Lassiter High School, I did think very highly of it. After my freshman year, my parents switched me to a private school. At Lassiter, the teachers don't make the effort to form a relashionship with theirs students. The students are out of control. I'd suggest Blessed Trinity.

As a former student at Lassiter I can say it is what you make of it. We moved to Georgia halfway through my sophomore year, and as a band member my old schoolmates in the midwest were jealous -- fantastic, recognized program. There are tons of extracurriculars for anyone motivated enough to join them.

From what I understand Lassiter also has a really great special ed department with great teachers there. A note on the previous poster that commented about football spending- yes it does seem ridiculous that a football team like ours should have a Jumbotron and astroturf, but that money comes from the Football Boosters, not public funding, so it must be spent on the football program and administrators can't put it elsewhere.

Because Mabry and Simpson Middle School do feed in to Lassiter, we expected much more from it. There are very few outstanding teachers, and quite a few that do not seem to understand how to teach their subject.

However, there is not as much emphasis placed on academics compared to extracurricular activites such as the band and sports teams.

I've been very pleased with Lassiter. My daughter has really enjoyed her teachers and the time they spend with her for extra help. She is also in the orchestra program, which is outstanding! This is actually why we selected the school. The only drawback is, there is too much focus on football. Lots

I just graduated magna cum laude from Lassiter. The problems at LHS is the freedom of teachers to run their class and have no one to answer to. The administrators back up the teachers no matter what, to the dismay of the students. If you are an independant learner, you will do well here, although

Their are some exceptional teachers who do not get the recognition they deserve. I have two syblings who do not do well at all at Lassiter. One has been pushed out to homeschool because of one teacher (who is luckily retiring) and the administrators lack of caring. It seems to be more important to look like a good school than to BE a good school. Read less

This is a great school. The teachers here are great (with a few exceptions) and the learning atmosphere is good. Our extracurricular programs are outstanding! Our football team may not be the best- but our band, baseball, softball, basketball, crosscountry, lacrosse and many other teams are superb!
