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 think Lagrange is a great school with great academics. Only some things need improvement such as parent connectivity and college readiness. Students should be more prepared for college and should be talked to about college extensively. A lot will fall on the parents but as the academic advisors to students more needs to be done. When it comes to the counselors office improvement needs to be made. If I have to email over and over and over again just to get an answer something is wrong. I do believe though academically and extracurricular wise is pretty good.

Overall the experience was great, you can learn a lot and meet new people but a lot should change in regards to teachers, clubs, and school safety.

Lagrange is a ok school but the school need a makeover. The teachers come off with attitudes most of the time hard to get help in the classroom. Then at Lagrange you see a fight every week. The only enjoyment i get is seeing friends

This is a horrid school. I am ashamed that I did not sell my house and move to get my children in a better school. This is by far the worst school I have even heard of. The vast majority of students at this school are not going to be able to attend college, and those that try will end up having to d...

My experience with the staff was very disappointing, and how they handle bullies is very unacceptable. They allow alot of things to slide thru the cracks
