    "I'm a current student here and to be honest this school isn't as great as I thought. I'm in the double honors program and it isn't actually rigorous at all. The regulars classes here are a joke. Many of the teachers seem to be under qualified and I only feel I had about 2 or 3 really good teachers. The only "cool" students here are the ones that do drugs or have a lot of money. There's almost no school spirit. The school administration seems disorganized. There's not a lot of extra-curricular activities and most clubs don't really do much to get involved/recognition from the school. The only thing I really like about the school is the location; that's it. I'm considering about transferring to be quite honest."

    "Part 3 of 3 I endured all four years of program, lonely and sad and felt like a failure the whole time. I still shed a few tears while writing this. I wonder how many students that graduated actually felt glad about the program. So, if your child is applying or get accepted. Prepare you kids of what he or she will face. (Unless your kids look like they are going to ivy-league at 3rd grade, by all means, go to IB and get challenged and be the star!) Oh and school spirit! I almost forgot about addressing that, because there were none. Think about it, there are four programs, with double honors, honors and regular like a 2nd class, 3rd class and 4th class. They were pretty much segregated, how can there be school spirit."

    "My son is currently in 8th grade and recently we accepted an offer from LP into the Vocal Music Program. I thought I did a lot of research on this school but after we accepted I decided to do some more and so far I don't like what I've been reading. I respect the students reviews and have taken that into consideration but as a parent the parent reviews is what I'm focusing more on and it seems to be mixed. What are some parents not seeing that other parents are? Some are saying this school is horrible, others are stating that it's great! Although we have accepted their offer, I'm we are looking into Von Steuben as well who called us yesterday with an offer. Although I've read some negative reviews as well for them, it's not as much as what I'm readin in regards to LP. I would like some more feedback on anything recent so I can make the best decision for my son. The most recent review I see is in Feb 2012 and it's a negative one. But it seems that the review is regarding a situation that has taken place before regarding the counselors. Thank you"

    "My brother is a freshman here and I have watched him go from a happy teenager to a miserable one. Ive been to this school a few times and the staff is extremely rude. No one seems to care about the kids. Ive made calls to his counselor and she has never bothered to get in touch with me. My brother hates the atmosphere here and it seems like it's just not a very welcoming place. We are all very upset that we sent him to this school but fortunately, we are working on transferring him over before things get worse. I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. Many other people that went to this school either transferred or just hated it. Don't the scores and reviews fool you. This school isn't worth anyone's time."

    "I have difficulty getting anyone to pick up the phone at any department in the school. My daughter's counselor does not answer her phone and returns messages days later. By the time she called me the issue had been resolved and she argued with me about why I emailed my daughters teachers telling me that was not necessary. I found the whole conversation bizzare and wonder how she even keeps a job there. I drove to LPHS immediately after that conversation to talk with Mr. Boras about it. Things got worse...he sat there and did not stand to greet me or attempt to shake my hand. I shook his hand and introduced myself. I went on to expalin a pretty serious situation happening with my daughter at the school while he stared out the door, which he did not have the manners to close. I finally stopped and asked if someone was standing outside the door and did he need to go talk to them. He said "No, I am just watching the people walk by." I wish I was kidding but that's what he said. Then, he continued to stare out the door and space out while I tried to have a conversation."
