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 have enjoyed my time at Papillion Lavista High School. I have played volleyball for 4 years, and track for 2 years. I am a member of National Honor Society. I feel like the district has given me all of the tools to continue my education. Thank you for considering me for this scholarship.

This “school” definitely seems more like a prison than a place where a teen should thrive, and be educated. There are drug users in every bathroom, violence at every corner, and students roaming the halls instead of going to class constantly! Above all else, the administration is useless. I’ve heard...
