This school would be a good school with a different principal and assistant principal (Perkins/Clark.) They clearly have a problem with foster/adopted children. Not sure what the issue is, but I’ve had to be very aggressive and involve a lawyer, the state board of education, a therapist and the assistant superintendent. They would rather a straight A middle schooler come to the high-school with straight A’s and start failing, rather than allow them to swap classes or provide them additional support. This school could be so much more. Administration definitely DOES NOT like parent involvement. They want to meet with the children only so that he can degrade/belittle them. They use fake “data,” to try to insult or force your child into things they can’t/don’t want to do. Please if your child goes here, be stern, determined and if necessary get everyone involved! This is the only way you’ll get answers and or see results! Now that we’ve overcome this obstacle it seems my children are improving emotionally, mentally and grade wise. The staff does not bother my children. The way my six adopted children were born, I will have a child in this school for the next 12 years and I’ll advocate for them all every year that they are there.

I have two students who have graduated from LHS. Both have Gone directly to 4 year colleges without losing a beat. The teachers at all 4 of the Lewisburg schools pride themselves on teaching student character, work ethic, accountability, kindness to others and being the best you you can be. I’m proud to say I have one more student to go & definitely won’t move before she graduates either. It’s just a great family atmosphere.

Being a former student I feel lucky to have gone to Lewisburg High School. I was there when the school opened up and had a positive experience overall. The teachers work with students hands on and are there if you have any questions or concerns. The student body isn't that large compared to other schools so students don't have to feel overwhelmed. The fine arts program at the school is one of the best in Mississippi. The band, having won 2 State Titles in the short couple years of opening, is truly a force to be reckoned with. Overall, I enjoyed my years at this school. It is a great place to make friends and enjoy life.

I used to be a student, and I wish I could say Lewisburg is the school I got lucky enough to graduate from. It's the best school I've ever gone to, and I wish I could go back, more than anything. Go Patriots!
