Rating 3.89 out of 5 44 reviews
I entered the school district as a Freshman. I made a lot of good friends and have enjoyed my high school career, despite the Covid Pandemic and being remote. The students and staff have come together to make the most of the situation we all found ourselves in as of March 2020. Once a lot of the restrictions were lifted, we were able to have a somewhat normal senior year so far...including sporting events (football, basketball, swimming all have made it to state playoffs) and social events like school sponsored dances and our annual spring musical. Academically I think the school offers a variety of courses for all students and for the most part the teachers and staff are pleasant and want to see everyone succeed.
I've attended Laurel Highlands since elementary school, but it's nothing to write home about. I'll admit, I've heard some horror stories from other public schools across the nation, but I haven't experienced anything too sever while attending LH. There were a couple of incidents that come to mind where we had bomb threats, but, if I'm remembering correctly, there wasn't any real threat. The staff, however, did treat it as a threat and prioritized our safety. I am sure that administration has out safety, well-being, and education in mind, even if some of their good intentions become misconstrued and minor inconveniences for us students along the way.
I have been pushed by some of my teachers to excel above what I thought capable. I have often been challenged to succeed but not with out some negative effects. Often grades are pushed as a means of success, yet I believe achievement should be a measurement of success rather than a letter grade.
