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 Moreland has really great teachers who educate well and prepare the students for college all while putting a lot of effort into what they do. The district is really well run and allows for a close-knit and supportive community.

I was a transfer student from another high school and was a bit confused to be going to a school like this. But when I actually enter I really like it. I loved the people there, those some are a bit annoying. But overall, I really enjoyed my expero9ences there. Made some life-changing freinds.

The high school is in denial about the drug problem that is going on in their school. The bullying is an issue with the parents and the students. The drama club has had their favorites since middle school. The school could improve with peer education and programs with bullying.
