I went to Lowell High School, graduated in 1998 before all these fun extras were put in place, and I would have to say that it put me in a great place academically.

Eight years later, I still feel like I recieved a very high quality education at Lowell High. I was well prepared to write research papers and the like when I was in undergrad. When writing graduate papers, I still think back to writing tips that I learned in a freshman English class. Read less

I went to Lowell High School-Class of 2004,-I have to admit, it was overwhelming to have so much securities in every crack and corners of the school, but it was a good thing because the students can feel more safe, and at lease it's a good confort to the parents to know that 'My son/daughter is going

I would recommend this school to my children and everyone else. To me this is a top notch school.

LHS security is not as bad as these others make it out to be. Other schools (*not LHS) make schools carry clear backpacks, and before entering, each student has to pass the metal detector. LHS' system of ID Badge check is nothing compared to that, and I don't see why more security would be an issue.

LHS also provides students with the oppurtunities to succeed if they choose to with a list of academic courses that rivals small colleges, ties with Middlesex CC and UML, a wide number of activities and clubs after-school, etc. Compare Lowell High to schools with similar populations and LHS is clearly one of the better.
