I felt the need to respond to 4/6/07 remarks that contain misinformation. I have 2 children... 7th grade girl at the new middle school and 9th grade boy at the 3 year old HS. Both started kindergarten at Lovejoy and my son will be among a handful of students lucky enough to say he's gone straight
... Read more through LISD. For 2 years, MS and HS students were in the same facilily....although kept in separate areas. Last year 6-10th grade was all we had at the UNCROWDED high school. In Aug the MS opened with 6-8th grade while the HS now has 9-11th grade. Clubs are for students to enjoy once/6wks during school time only, unless they CHOOSE to meet later... requiring them to join is a part of our school's 'developing the whole person' philosophy. Pre AP classes are tochallenge, not overwhelm students. Extra help is always available. Great school, great staff! Read less

I am a 9th grader attending Lovejoy High School, but I have been in LISD since the 1st grade. I love my school. It is an amazing learning environment because everyone only wants the best for you. I am happy to be placed in all Pre-AP classes because they prepare us for our AP classes later. Pre-AP may

Teachers are so accomadating with coming in to help us one on one in tutorials every morning and afternoon. Lovejoy High also has a beautiful new campus that is relativly easy to find your way around. The staff was chosen specifically so that we may be taught from the best.... I very highly reccomend all LISD Read less

My daughter has been in the Lovejoy ISD school system since third grade and is now at the high school. Prior to coming to moving to Lovejoy, she was in a private school. I am delighted with the district and the teachers. The personal attention the kids receive is better than I ever expected. I also

Our two children have been in Lovejoy for their primary schooling. Our Oldest went through Allen secondary schools and we were ok with that because a larger school was better suited to that child. Our younger child would not have done as well in the Allen ISD environment because of the size. Our
... Read more youngest child is doing great in their classes. The Pre AP classes require more work and are more rigerous than regular track classes. It has been the source of some frustration, but it has forced my spouse and I to take a more active role with our child than we might have if they had been in regular track classes. Since there is not a specific uniform defined criteria for Pre-AP, the concept must be taken with a grain of salt. There is no doubt that parental involvement is a must for success in this district.

I would like to update my previous glowing report. On the surface this district is spit polished with lots of hype. Once you scratch through the rhetoric, you find that it's all talk and no action.

After an exhaustive search, we moved across the country specifically so our children could attend Lovejoy. Our high expectations were not only met, but have been consistently exceeded. The campus is new and well designed, the instruction is excellent with the highest caliber of staff and a supportive
... Read more Administration. The HS is large enough to offer a variety of quality extracurricular activities yet small enough that students are not lost in the masses. The devotion to top-notch athletics is impressive, particularly for a school this size. The District Administration is available, dedicated, professional and strategic with immediate and long-term decisions. Parent participation is impressive and positive. My children, even after such a dramatic move, are happy in their new environment, well-received by their peers, acknowledged for their efforts, appropriately challenged to be their personal best and supported in their weaknesses. We highly recommend LISD. Read less

We are very disappointed in this district. We just moved here 2yrs ago and may move again this summer. The courses here must be the minimum offerings to open a school. All classes are Pre-AP. There are no regular classes. On top of that, all students are required to join a club. As a parent of kids who

If there is any career assessment, I can't see anything this school can do to help your child onto their careerpath besides send them on a field trip. For the next 2 years 6th-8th grades will be crammed in with our older kids. Small schools are great, but this is a crowded small school, not the same thing. I wished we'd stayed in Allen. Read less
