I graduated in 2019. The only commendable and honorable program and teacher from this school is the band program and instructor. He's changed a lot of kids lives with the programs he's run over the years. He's truly here for his students and wants us all to succeed and do our best. He and he alone is the only reason I graduated from this school. He motivated me and believed in me like no other teacher and he alone is the only reason I am giving this school a good rating and recommending it.As far as the other teachers, in my personal experience- none of them taught me a thing. The math department is lacking significantly. The English department was good my freshman year- but the teacher I had then left the school my sophomore year. They want you to figure out the work for yourself- if you have a learning disability like dyslexia or ADHD, they will not help you, nor be understanding. If you are undiagnosed with this- they also will not care enough to notice or help if you are struggling. Yes, LHS is a poor school and we may be looked down on for that- but that is not something that is important nor significant as far as I am concerned. College readiness and real world preparedness is what is important and this school fails. I do not believe this is the student's faults. The only reason I feel I was prepared was because of the values and lessons taught in the band program. Truly. I became responsible, learned leadership, felt more obligated to focus on my grades, and I learned to not give up and to try harder to improve myself. So if you do look into this school and end up attending- join the band. It's the saving grace and silver lining of this school. It gave me hope that I would turn out alright and survive after high school. What I learned in LHS's music program, and the memories I made are absolutely invaluable. It's what made me happy, thankful, and proud that I went to such a school.

I am a father of a student going here and what my child said makes me think badly about ONE KID WAS BLEEDING AND ALL THE TEACHER SAID WAS "This is why I love you"

I have received other students information including all their personal information and who knows who has received our personal information. Being a separated family, the school has not included both of us in very important meetings or information. Taking the word of one parent, without verifying with the other parent. The office staff are very unorganized and don’t seem to know what is going on. Important information and dates are not revealed until the last minute and are still bad information. My child was sent to a different school for summer school than we were advised of. The school we were told he was attending called saying our child did not attend school. Terrifying news to get when you put your child on a school bus and then receive a call like that. I had called and asked several times, which school. Just unbelievable how unorganized this school is. I don’t feel comfortable with my child attending here. Looking to move.
