Lunenburg High School certainly has areas where it needs improvement. Many of the staff are wonderful, particularly in the English and Social Studies departments, but the science department is severely lacking. There are staff who have had several years of student complaints filed against them, yet they are still teaching. LHS cares much more about sports than music, arts, and theaters, and this is reflected by the administration, which is disappointing. Because it is a small school, class registration is a reoccurring issue. Every year I have had to give up important classes because LHS severely limits students’ options. The small school does allow for students to create connections with certain teachers, and often creates fast response to emails and requests for help. Overall, the education is not bad, however the limitations of classes offered due to the size of the school makes a truly satisfying education, and one catered toward your interests, impossible.
Looking for a tightly-knit, welcoming, college-preparatory school for your teen? Look no further than Lunenburg High School. Having transferred to the district as a young fourth-grader, I had the privilege of growing up alongside amazing classmates --among which I've made my closest friends-- and of being instructed by the most encouraging teachers around for years. Thanks to the faculty at LHS, I have become a disciplined, educated, and courageous young adult with a passion for learning and giving back to my community. I proudly rate my experience at LHS 5 stars, confident that you'll have as great a time as myself.
As a minority student, I struggled with biased teachers in the math and science departments. Teachers in those departments would constantly pick on me or call me out for having a different background make assumptions about my religion. Some teachers would purposefully give me lower grades while leniently grading the non-minority students. When I tried to report this, the board would not take my complaints seriously. The humanities had some amazing teachers. Mr. Stevenson was one of the kindest and most qualified teachers I ever encountered. He made this high school bearable. If you are a parent of black or brown children, do not send your children here. The administration is biased and not hospitable to people of color.
