There are so many dedicated teachers that go beyond the book education to help when you are willing to accept the help. I wouldn't have done as well if I didn't have so many teachers that were willing to push me because I asked for the help.

Lyndhurst High School is an immaculate facility that barely reaches the curriculum level of average high schools. The teachers and other staff members are courteous and somewhat well-educated. However, if your child attends this high school after being transfered from a New York school, he or she will

be shocked to discover Lyndhurst's extremely low academic programs. Although this could be an advantage to receive high grades for your child, it would give false hope and security when it comes to attending college. Read less

I moved here from another town so that my child could get a better education. So far I am not pleased with this school at all. The school implemented that each child must do 20 hours of community service each year. What they consider there community services to be is a far cry from what community services

I am a parent of a freshman student attending Lyndhurst High School. Drama department is excellent. They take a swift approach to discipline. As with all NJ public schools; a parent has to push hard to get tutors - but they are available in the Honors Program. There isn't much additional when it comes

As parents we are pleased with the improvements made over the years at LHS, both with the facility and in the curricular areas. I was surprised at the high standards academically in most of the classes. The teachers are dedicated to their teaching and to the kids. Of course some of the kids are not

This school is defnitely far below average. However, if you ask the administration they would vehemently deny that statement. Their version of the school is far different from what it actually is. The students are below average, with a few exceptions that stand above the rest. Most students go on to

two-year community colleges or nearby 4-yr colleges. Overall, the academic standards are often ignored in place of athletic priority; with the school in a town that devotes almost all of its budget to the police. Do not move to this town, and if you do, have your children in a private school. Read less

I believe this school is one of the best public high schools. The teachers do the best they can with what they have. The new science wing was well needed, and the staff are very dedicated to their work. The dicipline is excellent. The highest math course that can be elected is actually trigonometry,

My husband & I opted to take our 2 younger children out of this school and place them in private school. Our eldest graduated from here in 2001. Although we were never overly enthused with the school, we did not realize how poor the academics were until he started College. He was an honor roll student
