Lithonia High School

There are some very impressive programs and extra cirricular activities in this school. One example, the JROTC program is run by teachers/officers that private schools would want to recruit if they saw the difference they make in many student's lives. Students leave this program with all the necessary discipline and skills to get through a higher education and life in general. Most of the challenges the school faces, i.e., low test scores, have to do with a higher than usual transient community where the kids face challenges from attending so many different schools throughout their young life. There are many stable families and children doing great in this school, but overall, not enough to be reflected in the overall test scores.

I recently graduated from LHS, and its not the shool. Its the drive that you have, and the reason why to you come to school in the first place. To learn. Worrying about the fights, and the lack of parental involvement is not the reason why LHS has the promblems that is has. It's b/c of the children. Parents complain about the violence and how the kids are disrespectful, but have you ever given the thought that maybe it was your child. Kids are so much different when they are home and when they are at school. I graduated with honors, and i was in the top 10% of my class. Its all about time management, and knowing what you have to do to succeed. I wouldnt have gone to another high school for any reason. This year Lithonia has made AYP. Every year the school makes more improvements.

Lithonia High have very good academic ciriculums. Two of my children have graduated from Lithonia High. They both are attending college. My son is attending Southern Polytechnic University. He is studying to become an electrical engineer. My daughter is attending Valdosta State University. She is studying to become a sports physical therapist. You must get involved in your childs life in order to make a difference in the school that he or she is attending.

My Granddaughter is a first-time student at a public school and she had to register at this school. Therefore I need to know as much as possible about this school and it rating.

I have no problems with Lithonia High School - my children went to Lithonia. They never had discipline problems,we never had a problem with the curriculum, we worked with our children, provided them with additional learning materials and they graduate in the top 5% of their respective class.

I agree with that the school is not well organized. There is a lot of violence. It is in my district so I thought I did not have a choice on where to send my child. My daughter will be graduating in 2009 and she is doing very well there. Her grades are good and she has a good social life. I think it depends on the child as far as how successful their going to be at LHS.

This School is Bad! Don't send your child to this School if at all possible. They only have one police officer. The staff is understaffed! The School is over crowed. Teachers are leaving the school. This School doesn't receive any funding from the government due to the NCLB law. These kids are out of control! Few of the teachers care but most are just there to pay the bills.

There is no parent involvement, poor extracurricular activities and the teachers are fed up. The administration is inconsistent in their discipline, actually the students run the school. Teachers are not backed up by administration.

The worst school ever, my daughter went to this school for a year transferring from Boston. the curriculum was a joke and the teachers inept, the violence at the school was also a major factor in her leaving the school.
