Lafayette High School has a ton of extracurriculars, academic options such as AP and DE classes, and magnet academies. Whether a student would like to prep for college or go directly into a field, they can personalize their schedule to be in the TOPS(college) pathway or JUMPSTART(career) pathway and choose their school-day’s difficulty level themselves.
While you may do absolutely nothing in PE, it’s nice to have an extra study hall. The first one being LHS’s “pride period” a 30 minute class where SPED students are with their IEP teachers, Juniors prep for the ACT, and other students are allowed to decompress, do homework, or study.
The physical school itself is not doing well. The bathrooms stink, the auditorium floods, and the annual number of gas leaks is enough to make you ask why the school is still standing. However, the plans for a rebuild are online and all these problems should be fixed by the 2025-26 school year.
It’s got it’s usual LPSS issues, but, honestly, I love LHS.

Being in the gifted program ag Lafayette High has opened a door for me in learning that I don’t feel I would’ve gotten at any other school. My teachers are exceptional and actually care about me and my success, and that really motivates me to want to do better and push through the times in academic and personal life that can be challenging. On a more adverse note, Lafayette High can oftentimes neglect their school facilities and overall sanity, making it an environment I’m not always comfortable to be in. On any note, however, I think Lafayette High is a great school to push students academically and invites a diverse range of students to enhance the ability to make like-minded friends and expand the social circle.
Lafayette High school is a great high school. This high school has many classes to choose from and many programs offered. Health academy,Ap, and dual enrollment classes offered. The teachers and administration make sure everyone is doing well in our classes. The student body is also great when it comes to school spirt when supporting our school sports and clubs. Many clubs are offered for anyone who would like to join.The school also has student workers so students can help out around school and others. When it comes to safety Lafayette High does everything possible to keep everyone safe from any harm. my overall experience in Lafayette high has been great.
