Both of my kids have attended LDHS and have been very successful in their programs. There are a lot of extra curriculars offered and clubs to join. I believe my kids did so well because they were involved in the Band Program. This gave them a sense of purpose and responsibility. It also allowed them to make a lot of friends and have a sense of belonging. The band staff truly works hard each year to make the program successful and give the kids lots of opportunities to shine. LDHS also has some really fantastic teachers. My kids didn't always agree, but they were successful in their classes as long as they put in the work. Are there better schools? Probably - this is a small district, but I think there is a real sense of inclusion and belonging for the most part. If you kid takes AP, Honors, DC, etc - they will have a great time. There are some really fantastic students in this school district. Is there fighting and vaping? yes - it's annoying. I'm annoyed, my kids are annoyed, but it's an ongoing problem for most schools. I've always felt safe with the communications from the school and the on campus police support. One of the officers even plays Tuba with the band during some games which I think really builds relationships between the officers and the kids.

Overall pretty great. The ELA Honors teacher and the science teacher are amazing. They're full of kindness and know how to do their job very well.A few things however, is the internal biases some lunch teachers have. (if you're a black person you're more of a threat, if they're crying they're immediately the victim, etc.) and the transphobia. There's multiple students (obviously not gonna name them lol) but worst of all, even the teachers are like that. Especially the PE coaches and band teachers.Following that topic, as a trans student here, I do not feel welcomed nor safe. The PE coach does not understand that I am a trans boy, but rather thinks I'm a male crossdresser. (Normally, that would be a compliment but god. You're a teacher. Please just think for two seconds). Also, I'm not allowed in the male lockerrooms (Obviously.) And I keep getting either physically attacked (Shoving into doors, getting my head banged on lockers, etc.) or mentally attacked (Getting slurs thrown at me, manipulating me into thinking I was staring at someone, etc). The teachers haven't caught on yet.Lastly, the equipment is pretty good as far as a school goes. The track is nice, and they even have badminton rackets! The water fountains definitely could be better, but they always suck anyways.In conclusion, it's just an average school. I wouldn't take a minority kid here, but c'mon. It's one of the best options in the area. (Betty Myers is kinda goated.) Just give it a shot.

This school is fantastic. The new administration has been wonderful. They have put students, families, and staff first. We love CE!
