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.

I enjoy the close community that allows everyone to know one another and have each other's back. On the flip side, I feel that there needs to be more club opportunities and encouragement. Also wish students felt more academically motivated.

At lookout Valley I am able to meet everyone and have one on one time with my teachers because of how small the class is. At Lookout Valley you are given equal opportunity and can always play more than one sport.

When I was still enrolled, LVMHS had started to come out of its shell, and begin to offer even more programs than it used to. It's a tight knit school with a hometown feeling, and is also an absolutely amazing establishment.

My children were constantly discriminated against by staff members. My youngest would come home and tell me every day about people bringing drugs/vapes and distributing it. One time another student from a school came to fight one from Lookout Valley, during school.

The school could use some structural changes as far as knowledgeable and welcoming staff. The school also lacks communication when it comes to parent notifications or involvement. I am often unaware of things going on or notified last minute. A monthly or quarterly newsletter via email to the parent...

Bad school. Kids do bad things in this school including drugs and drinking. All though overall the staff is great at getting to kids' attention. It's just the kids that are not doing ANYTHING to learn. I think you should to your kids more not the staff
