The school schedules extra curricular events leaving at 2 am, over holidays and spring breaks. The place no value on family time and attempt to assume the role of the parent. For the area it is better than Leavenworth.

We moved to this area excited about the schools and academically we are happy.However the staff and teachers at this school are not easy to work with or talk to.The front office needs to work on how it greets parents and attends to their needs.As a new parent, this school was very different from the

Read more last one my children attended.When I asked questions I was treated as an inconvenience and often the information given was inaccurate.The drop off and pick system does not work.No one follows the rules and if you try to, you risk getting hit by another car and if you go with the flow of traffic you are osticized by the staff that is working that day.I understand the need for a steady flow, however that need should not jeapordize the students that are walking or the other vehicles in the lot.Attitude improvement, ASAP.

This is our first year in Lansing, and we purposely chose this school district over Leavenworth. The environment is a safer and more friendly environment. They have a zero tolerance level in most classes for behavior, which really keeps the kids in line. Sometimes it may seem extreme to some parents
... Read more and students, but it keeps behavioral problems at a minimum. The academics are great, and the students perform at a much higher level on tests and in competition. The music program is phenomenal for a small school, as are the other extracurricular departments. The sports departments compete in a very classy manner, with good sportsmanship in the forefront. I am very proud to be a Lansing Lion. Read less

I used to think lansing was a bit better than lvn but i am having 2nd thoughts on that. Lansing has some teachers that need training in race relations and respect for the students.

Lansing Highschool has an administration which is focused on dictatorial policies and encroaches on parental authority. Their focus is more punitive in policy making than it is on discipline which creates rebellion vs. making different choices. Students are encouraged to assume personal responsibility
... Read more but when implemented by students they meet resistance and condemnation by the administration. The discipline policies of this district allow student manipulation for behaviorly challenged children and without an IEP there is zero tolerance for creative solutions to deal with challenging teenage behavior. In my opinion, this school, administration and district is more focused on dollar signs than the best interest of children Read less

Lansing is a good school academically, but it also has several flaws. The teachers are pretty good--there are a lot of teachers that have been teaching for a long time. Some less experienced teachers aren't as good. Problems in this school include the attendance policies. People can lie and say that
... Read more they are sick and get an excused absence or be truthful and say that they had a family event such as a wedding or their car wouldn't start and they would get an unexcused absence and a ZERO on all work from their absence. Something else is that we have the worst lunch menu ever--the same boring old things on any given day of every week. Mexican style food three days a week is EXCESSIVE. Read less
