Overall a great school! Need more diversity and inclusion. Clean ffers expanded information about important aspects of school quality — including student access to advanced courses, student progress information, and equity data to help parents see whether or not all students are being served similarly parents across the country can use to support their children’s education and take action to improve their local schools. We’re incorporating this rich data to ensure that our school ratings reflect factors that we know are important to parents and that research shows are connected to students’ success in college and life.
I truly wish I could say better things about this school. I was a student from 2014 to 2021, spending all my middle school and high school years in this "college prep" school. I genuinely think I would have been better going to Hough instead. Charter was always saying we were college-prep, hence the workload, the dramatic expectations- but in reality I honestly think that was all a lie and realistically we were the same as every high school. It's "college-prep" despite having 7 courses a day rather than 4 a semester like colleges.
The diversity at this school is nonexistent. Students and teachers make an effort to be heard but never are. The school puts all their money into the sports department but never the outdated art department. LNC stressed for us to be in STEM, despite the lack of STEM selection. There are NO computer science courses, NO engineering, and there are also NO business classes (accounting, economics)
I wish I could say my time was better here, but it truly was not.

Although LNC has a positive reputation as a productive learning environment, this school ruined my mental health by making academics competitive. LNC makes a sport out of which student can be the most "successful" and by successful they mean exhausted and overworked. They encourage students (especially upperclassmen) to take a full load of AP courses, play a sport (or two), join and lead clubs, and participate in honors societies. Students I was close with had mental health problems develop ver the course of their time there (especially depression and anxiety) but continued on the same rigorous schedule as the year before. We might have graduated wit good grade, but I can decisively say it wasn't worth it.
