School Reviews
| 2 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 - Posted by Student/Alumni - lynne |
| 5 LaBelle High School is a fantastic school. The academics are very good. The teachers are good, especially the teachers for the honors classes. The group of kids at the school are for the most part are very good, and well raised. The sports programs are average, they have room for improvement. Several kids play professional sports from LaBelle. The facilities at the school are nice, clean, and safe. Parental involvement is about average compared to any other school. All in all it's the better high school in the area. - Posted by Student/Alumni - sbjcu |
