Lake Worth High School

This school needs to have more interest in after school activies. Lake Worth is a growing area and needs to keep the young kids busy with academic activies.

I had attended Lake Worth High School in 2001. I attended my entire 12th grade year, after moving to TX from WI. I experienced somewhat of a culture shock, having to adapt and learn about the Texas History and as a mandatory graduation required class. I learned a lot about the history of Texas and was indeed grateful for the opportunity. Granted, the alumni was small, although the teaching staff was remarkable.

I am a Parent with a son who attends Lake Worth High School. I want to mention a few things about the new Principal John Lindsay. Out of all the administrators I have ever worked with to educate my son who has Autism, Mr. Lindsay is the most educated, knowledgeable, compassionate and understanding administrator I have ever met. His knowledge and understanding of both the academic and emotional needs of special needs children's including Autism and other learning disabilities as well as the needs of regular education students is just amazing. I truly believe with his leadership in his new role at Lake Worth High School that this school 'WILL' become an exceptional school in the near future. Submitted by: Parent & Special Needs Advocate

I agree with the student rating and comments. This school is less than adequet in its acedemics, athletic program, and teacher/ leadership areas. While there ar ea few teachers and parents that are truly there for the students, wanting to see them at their best, a few is not enough. There are more students there that are trying to make it better for themselves but with lack of concern from their superiors. It is disheartening to kno wthat the students feel this way about their Alta Matar. When you here them make comments like 'I hate the mentality that it is ok to be stupid or a looser because I go to Lake Worth'. There should be more listening and action being taken.

I believe this school is just trying to get by and believes that there students are not wanting to go to a nice college but they are wrong.

I think the quality of the academic programs are great at LWHS. The classes are challenging for my son with the option to move up to AP classes for further challenge. The sports program is excellent. The level of parent involvement seems adequite.
