School Reviews

LHS has eliminated most honors classes and have replaced them with A.P, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But many of the "regular classes" don't provide a challenge for students, whereas A.P may be too difficult for some of those students. So it's the choice of dedicating yourself to a college level course or learning the bare minimum
