What people are saying

by a parent

If you are not a cheerleader or on a sports team, especially football then you are just a number. The Principal in 2013 actually had a revote for homecoming court because there were "not enough" football players and cheerleaders on the homecoming court. My child was one of the females that was voted off the homecoming court after being told she had made it. She cried for days, I complained to the Principal, was told it was her decision and to live with it! Fraternization among staff is also a huge concern. Children should not be coming home speaking of their teachers' lives outside of school because the teachers speak of it and are unprofessional. Teachers in remedial classes give students help on the FCAT and state tests. I am pretty sure this is illegal and considered cheating. On one test they gave out a calculator when the directions said "not to give out a calculator". It was never reported. Shady things happen at this school. I was told by Lee County Administrator that I can look to transfer to another school. This does not fix the problem here at Lehigh Senior High. Too bad, my child liked it here with her friends the past 3 years. Close Quote
