As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Students at LHS are great, accepting and kind. Huge difference in what I hear it is at other LPS high schools. In the 2 years my child attended we encountered 2 teachers who seemed to care about his success. Individualized learning is foreign at LHS. Some teachers seem to be dialing it in - worksheets that look like I saw when I was in high school. Worked hard to get an IEP in place that was not followed. Support staff seem fearful of teachers, rarely advocating. Teachers not trained or choosing not to deal with out of the box students. Old school teaching mindsets. My son overheard his support person call him “annoying” under her breath. He arrived at LHS classified as gifted and talented/2exceptional and fell through the cracks. I truly hope LHS figures out that the “outliers” can be very successful if embraced. Embraced outliers: Gates, Zuckerberg, etc. Through the cracks outliers: drop-outs, drug attics, suicide victims etc. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
