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.

It is a good school but the Administration struggle to work with the principal. The principal also doesn't communicate well with the teachers and staff. Random events happen and not many people know about it but overall, the school is chill and good. The lunch is bad though.

Lee will always be my home I grew to love the school my freshman year. I love all the clubs and opportunities they give us through out the school years I been there. The teachers are hard on us but in a good way they just want us to succeed in life. We have one of the best high school football teams in the state and when it's our first game or home coming we show out with are people rallies. We have the best high school basketball team as well we won state champs this year. We also lost a couple of students from Lee as well 3 of them were big athletes at our school and it still affects us til this day. One thing I want to change about Lee is the safety because we have had 3 shootings at our school and one incident of when it almost was set on fire while students and faculty were in the school we got to do better as a community because luckily no one lost their lives but how many times is it gonna take for it too eventually happen.
