Lyndhurst High School

As a student who graduated in 2010 I know that LHS is an amazing school. The staff at this school is beyond extraordinary. The 4 years at LHS I participated in many activites and so did everyone else. The staff was there for every event and made high school and enjoyable place to be. No matter where I go in life I will always stay true to my alma mater the GOLD AND BLUE <3

This school is a good school. It is better then some of the surrounding schools such as Becton. There are challenging honors classes and even special education classes. Overall it is a good school except the guidance councilors, some of them are too lazy and seem unapproachable . But they hired a new counselor who helps children that are going through tough times in their lives. I would suggest sedning your child here!

Alright, for those that say that LHS is a bad school, you are wrong. It is by far not a perfect school or at the level of BCA. However, it isn't as bad as some people say. The teachers here are wonderful and they do what they can to help you. They will stay after or before school until you understand the topic fully. I saw a review that said the music department was bad. Are you joking? This is the best music department in Bergen County (with the exception of the Bergen County Band). Mr. Dellosa does a great job at commanding the band to a high level. The athletics program is pretty good, also. P.S. To anyone who said that their child wasn't getting a high level of education, it's because you arent in any honors classes. That's where students get challenged

As a student who recently graduated i'd have to say that LHS has improved drastically over the past four years that i have been there. The new principal and v.p are fantasic. Mr. Crowell was a wonderful man, but my new principal, Mr. Sabato, actually got to know me. He reached out to the kids and still with a strong backbone of rules he was fun. He let a spring pep rally occur and let the student government be in charge. He made sure that all students were involved and the pep rally was a success. The new pool, new track, new field, and plenty of new EXPERIENCED teachers are going to be a fantastic addition to the school and I'm actually sad to say that I'm not going to be able to experience it.

All of you people dont have any idea what your talking about. This is one of the greatest schools to attend and if you think otherwise then I feel sorry for you. It doesnt matter what school you go to, it all matters on the student. So if your child isn't doing well at Lyndhurst High School then don't blame the school, blame your parenting skills.

There are so many dedicated teachers that go beyond the book education to help when you are willing to accept the help. I wouldn't have done as well if I didn't have so many teachers that were willing to push me because I asked for the help.

Lyndhurst High School is an immaculate facility that barely reaches the curriculum level of average high schools. The teachers and other staff members are courteous and somewhat well-educated. However, if your child attends this high school after being transfered from a New York school, he or she will be shocked to discover Lyndhurst's extremely low academic programs. Although this could be an advantage to receive high grades for your child, it would give false hope and security when it comes to attending college.

I moved here from another town so that my child could get a better education. So far I am not pleased with this school at all. The school implemented that each child must do 20 hours of community service each year. What they consider there community services to be is a far cry from what community services are all about.I have called my childs counselor on several occasions and the counselor never knows what in the world is going on. The school is not that populated. I feel that some of the teachers are really not concerned with teaching the kids. Overall im not very pleased with this school.

I am a parent of a freshman student attending Lyndhurst High School. Drama department is excellent. They take a swift approach to discipline. As with all NJ public schools; a parent has to push hard to get tutors - but they are available in the Honors Program. There isn't much additional when it comes to after school sports unless you're a football fanatic. Personally, I find Lyndhurst an unfriendly urban/suburban community. It's saving grace is the close proximity to New York City.
