This school is horrible...My son has had nothing but problems since day one....they seem to be more worried about what kind of punishment to hand out more then the teaching capabilities of the teacher...And the way they handle serious situations is a joke.. if you decide to send your children to LJHS

I am a former student to LJHS and I loved it. The teachers were great and would help you when you needed help, their doors were always opened. Yes, the sports did have a lot of the attention; however, if you didn't play sports you didn't go unnoticed. The PE program did need a little work; however,

I sure you here this a lot, but I didn't like the fact that this was a public school and the students had to wear uniforms.
