Lenox Memorial High School Reviews

LMMHS is a cesspool of hate, ignorance, intolerance, and shame. It’s an incredibly conservative community that hates anyone who isn’t white, upper middle class, catholic, and heterosexual and cisgender. If a public high school is supposed to ensure the safety and productivity of ALL students, then LMMHS is NOT a public school. Bullying is a plague at this school, and administration continues to be apathetic and negligent. The student body size makes social opportunity incredibly limited, as most grades only have around 60 students. Unless you want your children indoctrinated with discrimination, elitism, and hate, DO NOT attend LMMHS. I will forever look back at my time at LMMHS as dangerous, harmful, disgusting, and prison like.

I moved to LMMHS in 9th grade. You can’t get a better high school experience than going to Lenox. With a student body on the smaller side, student teacher relations thrive. The student body is welcoming and very active in extracurricular participation. The academics are also quite good with experienced faculty in every department. The opportunities present at LMMHS, if utilized properly can be used to get into any school, a student just has to utilize them. The only minor complaint that I have is that some of the facilities are not enough/ outdated, however, a new school building should be completed in 10 years time. I am thankful for having been given the opportunity to go to LMMHS.

Overall, my experience was positive. Most of my teachers were fabulous. There is the occasional hard teacher who gives you a tough time, but for the most part if you're open, communicative, do your work, and pay attention you'll do very well. The Administration fell apart after the principal and vice principal left, now they've seemed to get things back under control. However, somebody thought it would be a good idea not to renew the contract of the theatre manager. Lots of people were upset over this decision because of how fabulous he was. He wasn't just great at what he did, but he helped anyone with anything. Now they have a new theatre manager who works part time from home whereas the previous two were full time and always running around seeing to general maintenance in the theatre. Seeing as it's a really nice theatre, it's too bad to see so little going on in the theatre. They do have new band and theatre teachers though, so it will be interesting to see what they fight for.

Review Lenox Memorial High School

I think that there were a lot of great opportunities that Lenox gave its students. It had a place for everyone’s interests and a wide variety of classes that you could
choose to take. I would like to see the way administrators deal with unacceptable behavior change because in my years there there was never many consequences.

Lenox has given me an excellent sports career and I have met some of my best friends participating on state championship teams. Most teachers are excellent and care deeply about the students learning.

I went to Lenox Memorial Middle and High School for my middle school and high school years. It was definitely an interesting environment. This school really values academics and most of their students end up going to higher education. For my last years, unfortunately, there were a lot of administration issues, so it wasn't as enjoyable.

3 stars because there was adequate support for applying to college, hard enough courses to impress good colleges, and a generally high academic expectation for honors students. However, socially very limiting and unfriendly. Administration does not deal with non-Lenox folks well (even if you’re white and from MA but worse if you’re non-white, non English native speaker, etc). Kids who were not native English speakers basically automatically got put on the non-honors track which puts them at a severe disadvantage for college applications. Weird and uncomfortable amount of police involvement and surveillance for a safe place. Not allowed out of the building all day until you’re 18.

I came to Lenox as an 8th grader, and the kids in my grades quickly became my friends in the span of a couple weeks. I think that that shows the great environment this school offers!

The best school to prepare you for college. My brother and I are extremely blessed to have gone to such a great school to prepare us for our future.

Students always complain about being in lenox. Small. Most teachers care. Good school for some sports and academics.

Lenox is a very small community school. You get to know all your teachers and staff very well and all the students. There are also a lot of different clubs and activities to join.

I love this school! It is amazing and I am glad I went here. I have made so many friends and most of the students are nice.

I liked the rigor the the classes and some had a very interesting teaching style ,less lecturing more doing.

I liked the relationships that were created between students and teachers due to the small size of the school. As a student, you were always provided with the ability to reach out to a teacher or to any member of the staff to ask for guidance and in most situations someone was there to help immediately.

Overall, I had a good experience at Lenox Memorial High School. The teachers are kind, it has a calm atmosphere, and I was able to retain a lot of information. I also participated in sports. The sports programs are very good all around and I've never had a bad experience with my team. My only issue is that I think Lenox should offer more AP classes. A lot of schools offer a lot of APs, which can be an advantage in college, and Lenox hardly offers any of the main and common AP classes.

Lenox Memorial High School offers good core educational opportunities for students but lacks diversity both in the offered courses and the students themselves.

I still wanted to die most of the time whenever i entered the building, but my art teacher and environmental teacher as well as the humanities teachers are absolutely amazing. 10/10 recommend those classes to anyone entering high school here.

Review Lenox Memorial High School

This is a wonderful school that offer great teachers that are overall interested in the students well being.

My overall experience at LMMHS has been wonderful. They offer challenging courses, interesting extracurriculars, and impressive athletic teams. I love the community that exists in every aspect of the school and the possibility to pursue whatever you love, with help from everyone in the building.

Lenox is a good school, the teachers are good, the academics are good, however the main issue is the lack of classes offered as the school is small.
