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.

Lawndale High School wasn't the greatest school for academics, however, you meet many people who have to settle for the same school and it turns out that these people are great and share lots of memories with you for however long you've known them. The teachers that I've had were excellent as people and as teachers in my opinion and I wouldn't want to trade them for anything.

My experience at Lawndale High school has been pleasant. I've met many teachers who cared about my education. I was also able to create many bonds with my teachers that I'm sure will last forever. There's always been someone who had my back when I was in school and I feel like that's an important thing when growing up.

The teachers there are amazing, they help when you need and also have office hours for extra help. The security there make sure that the school is safe and help new kids around by showing them the buildings.

My son had the opportunity to go to an elite private school for free in Los angeles. We chose to go to Lawndale High School for their academies and their Sports program. We are so happy that we did. The academics especially in the honors and AP classes are excellent.

absolutely horrible. the staff here is so unprofessional and mean. not all of them are this way but definitely more than half are. most of the teachers are not fit for their jobs and should retire or be fired.
