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 had a good experience overall. Being a student athlete, I missed class frequently and the teachers always worked with me to get my assignments caught up.

They have a good resources for 504 students. And they go back to do check up's with the parents to make sure all accommodations are getting fulfilled. Overall the school is awesome.

My best experience was joining band which helped create so many memories but some of the hardest things in the school we had to face was learning to stand up for our selfs and let our voices be heard such as, seniors went up to the administration to fight for where our graduation will be. La Porte high school is a great place but somethings you have to stand up and be willing to put yourself out there.
