GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Lower Cape May is a great school district with lots of opportunities for kids. So many sports and after school programs, along with academics and involvement. My time at LCMR has been amazing with so many great friends and teachers. I rarely eat the school lunch so I don't have a great opinion on food but they try their best to have a wide variety. Our safety is very good even though we've had some incidents. Overall a good school district though with diversity and plenty of options for careers and sports or clubs.

Lower Cape May Regional is a great school when it's all said and done. Being in my fourth year, I've had a lot of great experiences both with students and staff of the school. The teachers are all qualified for their fields of knowledge and are more than willing to help students with issues they have. Students of the school often participate in school events and school spirit, along with a majority of the school being athletes. Overall, the school is a great place to go to and the best in the area

Lower was my 3rd high school between 2004 and 2008. My first school was a private prep school in Connecticut and I watched a tenured teacher throw a temper tantrum to rival a 2 year old. My second school was at risk of losing its accreditation. Lower was a breath of fresh air after that. My teachers...

I don't think it's a stretch to say that LCMR is below average. I'm not so sure it's necessarily the school's fault, the teachers and faculty do try hard with what they have for the most part, but this area doesn't have the largest budget. Some pros are that they have an excellent music program for...
