What people are saying

by a student
Sunday, January 31, 2016

As an ex-Lansing student, I can see the values of Lansing High. The education system is great, some of the best in New York. Bullying is barely an issue in comparison to most of the other local districts, but that is where the positives of Lansing end. Besides those, you will find yourself in a grueling, impersonal system with virtually no group interactions and uninteresting teachers. To be clear, most of the teachers are "nice," but give boring classes . It would be unfair not to say that this is not majorly due to the state of the Common Core-dictated system, but few try to make their classes intriguing. This is also influenced by the complete lack of positive student-teacher relationships. After spending my time at Lansing, I realized that I knew absolutely nothing about my educators with a few exceptions. The school's community is also close to non-existent, due to the lack of group work and encouraged interactions. All of this creates an unenjoyable high school experience with nearing unmanageable levels of work in order to achieve a premium education. The one thing Lansing High School is great at is making calculators, but if that's all you need from a high school, then don't waste a second thought. Always remember that their are other options.
P.S. The same can not be said about Lansing Middle School, which I loved being a part of.
Sincerely, a New Roots Charter School student. Close Quote

Lansing is an amazing school!!! The education is top notch. There is a great deal of economic diversity in Lansing which is great. Wealthier families are drawn to the great school system. This is good for all. Wealthier families mean more money to fund great education. Close Quote
