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.

Overall I like my school. I like the diverse classes we are allowed to take, and the many clubs you are able to choose from. I so far have enjoyed my Highschool career but I will so be ready to journey on my college career and future. I believe I've been prepared for college and the challenges I will overcome. I would like to become a RN/IUC RN in the future so I've been trying to take any classes I can to prepare me for this new step.

Lee county high school, definitely got me where I am today. The teachers were amazing, they taught us all so much more than academics they taught us life. I cannot imagine a teacher who wasn't looked up to at Lchs. Admin wasn't the best, they showed favoritism that made majority of the students feel shut out. Faculty and staff also witnessed this.

Most people don't care to give respect, and they all try to be like people they're not. I hate school, so maybe it's just me, but...

Lee County High School is horrible, there are constant fights, inept teachers, a general disregard for education. Administration tries to deal with the violence, but makes little headway. And when a subpar teacher is brought to their attention, they can't even bother to answer their e-mail. That bei...
