Lynbrook High School

Posted January 15, 2009

Excellent academic school. One of the best high schools in the area if you son or daughter want to go on to a top notch University. However, this is a terrible High School for competitive sports. By competitive, I mean Football/Wrestling/Baseball. Their basketball team has done well though. Sorry, but badmiton is not a comptetitive sport!! It does not take that much skill to hit a piece of plastic with a tennis racket. The few real athletes that stand out never get the respect they deserve and the coaches that want to build up the sports program do not get the respect or finanacial help they deserve. I spoken to a number of college recruiters (Berkeley, UCLA, Harvard) who had told me that the academic achievement of Lynbrook's students are very impressive, but these kids have not social skills and this is hurting them.

I was a student. The student body is very competitive and intelligent. Most students go on to top universities. You'll meet so many of the smartest people here. Bullying is almost unheard of in Lynbrook High. Large Chinese(taiwanese) American Student body and a good number of Indian students study in lynbrook high.

Lynbrook is, briefly, an amazing school. I can see why everyone is trying to move here - LHS IS an exceptional school! Friendly students and caring teachers. Not as large as Monta Vista, and not as hardcore as Lowell, yet LHS is just as good or even better than those other schools! Large Chinese and Indian student body. Most teachers are organized and teach very well, although there are a few bad eggs. Excellent sports and extracurriculars. Lynbrook's cross-country coach is highly dedicated and very well-known. Dance, band, orchestra, and many other extracurriplars are simply amazing. For many students, this school is highly competitive, but ultimately it's entirely up to the student to be either highly competitive or non-competitive. Excellent college preparation, unforgettable experiences - highly recommended school!

I think it is an excellent school. It is extremely competitive and kids work very hard to do well in this school. If you can survive and do well in this competitive environment, you are well prepared to handle pressure of any top university!
