Overall, Lafayette is a really great school. It puts a huge focus on academics as well as athletics. Our students are welcoming, smart, and charismatic in many ways. Lafayette also has a wonderful staff with caring teachers! The only thing Lafayette could put more of a focus on is mental health. While the school cares for its students in regards to academics and athletics, it doesn't put enough focus on mental health as it should. This needs to change. Otherwise it's a great school, I have no regrets attending this school for the past 4 years. Proud to be a Lafayette graduate!
I enjoyed my experience here and didn't have too many problems at all. Most of the teachers are great and really want to help you. I feel very prepared to go to college and I got a quality education. I really wish, however, Lafayette would focus more on mental health and reduce the stigma of the topic because there were several mental health crisis' in my grade and other grades during my time at the school. The administrators didn't really do that much to solve the issue or take preventative actions. Hopefully future classes will help solve this issue as much as my class did.
Lafayette High school is a pretty great school with incredible opportunities to pursue varying interests, backed by an amazing set of committed and passionate faculty. Whenever I have problems or need to vent, I know that there's a teacher who is happy to help talk through and listen to my problems, no matter how trivial. The teachers here truly love what they do, and it's obvious in every lecture. Whenever they get a question, their entire face lights up, even behind the mask. I'm truly lucky to be supported by such wonderful teachers who love guiding and growing others.
