This school is not a school that I would reccomend. The teachers play favoritism, and students there don't learn as much as they should. Also, his school as a limited variety of sports for athletic people. You will get aloof work and almost no instruction in some classes. Some teachers even have the middle school students sit and grade thier own papers as they give the answers. Maybe people might like the school better if: they taught more, had more sports, some teachers were nicer, etc. If you are in the process of choosing a school I would recommend Plato school rather than licking.
This school is terrible. The elementary principal Ms. Aiken is terrible. Dr. Hood is terrible at his job. This school has terrible teachers. They do not care about the kids only the paycheck. My son goes here and I hate it! He is always saying his teacher is mean!
from the elementary thru the high school the licking schools are simply very poorly conducted . The children start behind and never catch up . The teachers allow other children to disrupt the class and the sad thing is that children are grouped according to their status in the community thus you have a class full of well behaved children and the other class is composed of children considered outcasts or new students or children from lower soco economic groups. This is a terrible form of promoting class structure within the school which carried over into the comuunity. The sports programs are the same as children are selected early to play sports and they are kept together thru out their school career. Other children whom are late in developing never have a chance to play organized sports or break into the high school teams . I only know of one outside student who made the high school baseball team only because his parents sent him to baseball camps.
All three of my childrend have attended this school. Its hard to rate the teacher quality, this should be individual than a whole. Very few of the teachers I feel are qualified to teach and actually care about the students. The others I feel are "drop outs" from larger schools and they care for nothing more than their paycheck. My daughter has issues with another student and that students parent is a teacher at this school. Needless to say her daughter is never wrong and my daughter is always at fault. We seem to be the outsiders of this school even though they have attended this school since day one. With their MAPP scores low...dont take it out on the kids..maybe they should step back and take a closer look at the Teachers.
I go to this school and it's great. we may not have softball but me and a few others are trying to get it. the students act like anybody else in any other school. the teachers are great and we have a lot of new ones and are bringing learning easier.
This school's a disappointment.. All in all I give this school a 2 out of 5. Don't go there.
This school is very disappointing for education. The students are disruptive and rude to other students and teachers.I actually wanted to leave this school and move to another school after two years of being with disruptive and immature students everywhere.
I went to this shcool 9 years and taught at this school for 6 months. I think it is a great school and it is very accepting of individuals who put their best foot forward. Also what you bring into many situations is what you take out of them.
Do not care for this school, not accepting of new people, from students or faculty. Does not have a good sports variety ie: softball, football.
My experience at LHS was a very positive one. If I still lived in the area, my children would definately go to school there.
