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 personally loved Lewiston High School. It is a school in which the community plays an immense role. The diversity of our high school has allowed me to never feel like an impostor in the environment. Everyone knows each other pretty much. Sports such as soccer are one big thing that brings the school community together but also the local community. The teachers at Lewiston High School work here with the intent to grow connections with the students. I also believe they fully represent different students in many ways. As an athlete for my school it is often that I have had to represent it and each time we have done so gracefully.

I think Lewiston High School is one of the finest in Maine, as has so much diversity and culture. I really think Lewiston in general is a sleep on city that I think everybody should know. But anyway, Lewiston High School is a very good school to go to if your in the area.

They did not hold kids accountable for work. "Pass in when done" was the motto. Honestly set kids up to pass but didn't help with how the world actually works.

LHS has been a great school in which to work with caring teachers, administration, and staff members. After working at LHS, I would have no problem with my children attending this high school. Great strides are being made here and the staff expects the growth of students as learners and citizens.

As a former student at Lewiston High School I feel that the school prepared me for college through challenging class. Teachers for the majority will help students with anything and everything that they need , even if it means they will have to work "off the clock." As for the principals, I have no i...

Lewiston High School is a "Okay" school. Lots of smokers, pot heads and drinkers. Teachers go way to fast in classes making it harder for students to learn. People get bullied and harassed and nothings ever done about it. I'm about to get homeschooled because of this school. Don't send your child th...

the main problem with this school is the staff. they are very disrespectful. change the staff and principle and the school would improve. also I have noticed that there are teachers that don't really know how to teach, which the test scores prove that.
