I attend Loachapoka High School, and I think it is a good school for anyone to attend. Although other people around the county say that Loachapoka is a bad or not a good school to attend, they won't know how Loachapoka is unless they have gone to the school. In my opinion, LHS has good classes for me and I make excellent grades. If I would attend any other school, I would think that I would have the same grades that I make at LHS. So plz dont call Loachapoka High School no good because we are going to make it all the way!!! If anyone has any thing to say just write me on my email...thanks
