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.

My first year at Lynwood High School was cut short because of COVID and by the time we were able to go back to the campus we couldn't because a building had collapsed. We had to relocate to a middle school campus which was very small. I was a junior when I went back and I noticed that most teachers really tried to put a effort and engage with the students as much as possible. I felt comfortable in class, but there are a few things that I just can't ignore like the fights that happen and how there's a rule that you can't use the restroom the first 15 minutes of class and the last 15 minutes. Sometimes I can't even go during passing period because the lines are to long and I go to class and I have to wait 15 minutes.

In all the APs classes I took, the teachers were the best. They were very passionate about what they were teaching and I learned a lot. My favorite classes that I took were the honors/APs for that reason. The classes were fun and engaging with a lot of participation.

As an alumni of Lynwood, I am very proud to go gone, graduated and survived there. I graduated in 92'; riots, earthquakes, fights, uncaring teachers, and a few extremely devoted teachers gave to way to an incredible amounts of students there.I was involved in the ROTC program there. I loved it, a pr...
