Lindhurst High School

I've had two children attend this school and graduate. If you want to call it that. The kids don't care about their education and it seems to me that the teachers do not either. I came from the Bay Area where our schools had agreements with the local colleges to accommodate students with a drive to excel. My kids were both told that they would not be in certain AP classes or advanced classes because there were not enough students to justify a class. Talk about pathetic.

I just graduated from this school and all I can say is that it is a horrible place. First off, it's academics are very low quality. 90 percent of the time teachers lower their standards and make class way too easy due to the vast majority of the students being slackers. A 4.0 means nothing if you don't have the TEST SCORES to back it up. The majority of students also have VERY low standards and have no idea whatsoever on what they're going to do with their lives. If that did learn anything after transitioning into high school it was to "drink, smoke, and party" every weekend. Those were the buzzing conversations among most students during class. The number of AP classes is very low and last year, they tried to scare us all out of taking the AP test so the school wouldn't have to pay for it.

This school is the best High School ever. The students and the teachers connect very well. Also, when one fails to connect with each other, they don't just shun others away for that particular reasons. They actually put their differences aside and are able to work as a team. Even though the Football team didn't win, they are the best High School team ever. I wish other rivals were as competitive and hard workers like ours. I hope for the best in this school.

The quality of academic is excellent, other extracurricular is excellent, however parent involvement can improve.

Im a student at Lindhurst high school, 4.0 student and have perfect attendance. Im glad i go here because it is such a great school,so much involvement rallies,fun and so many great classes to offer. Maybe our school is considered bad but by who?Ones that haven't experienced what we have to offer? I know that we have a great athletic program and we have been rated most students attending the 'big' colleges in our district. This is one fascinating school with great diversity. Im caucasion but here there's asians,mexicans,caucasion, african american and it is so great to have friends of different ethnicity. We are extremely lucky.

I think the school has very few teachers who are actually good. I can think of 4 teachers off the top of my head who are actually there for the students. I think the staff especially in the office is really rude. and I think that they do not give enough of the students credit for what they do.I had a math teacher no names mentioned tell my son that he will never amount to anythingnd I think that it was wrong for him to tell him this especially when my son isnt origionally from the town of olivehurst and has not been broguht up like most of the people there. I think there needs to be a lot of changes for the better for it to be a great school.
