Lee High School was the highlight of my daughters educational career so far. The faculty helped her to achieve her personal best. She was accepted to all colleges she applied to and will be attending her first choice. The music department is outstanding, especially orchestra.

My kids have found all they need there and more without the overwhelming peer & social pressures like the other 26-5A schools. My eldest has her choice of top universities after graduation and her brother is right behind her. More parent and district (ecspecially at the athletic level - not our fault we are the athletic directors rival) support and this school would thrive. Dont need obsene amounts of parents money for success, just involvement & awareness. This schools more than makes the grade and has all the academic opportunities of any school in this district. The teachers are very involved and caring. Lee's PALs group is the best anywhere!

All this school needs to be a better place for students to learn and grow is more parental involvement.

The level of involvement by the teachers, especially in the History department, is outstanding.
