This school has issues of smoking, drug users, and kids who disrupt the classroom setting. The sports are not great and some of the teachers are not agreeable. However, quite a lot of high schools experience problems similar to these. There will always be students who do not act the way they should, teachers that will not cooperate with students, and the quality of a sports team ultimately depends on the athletes. That being said, this school's positive points make up for what it lacks. A lot of the teachers are kind and teach their students a lot, and the coursework provided in each course is fitting for the class.Every high school has its flaws, and I would consider this school to be quite average. Although it is not the best school in the state, there are plenty of worse schools both in this state and in others that would be a much worse choice than Lake Forest High School. In case you, the reader, is wondering, as of January 2021 I am a junior who is attending LFHS as a hybrid student taking 3 honors and 1 AP class.

My son needed 24 credits to graduate from previous De. School & they require 27 credits. My son had to be withdrawn due to being his Senior year & would of only got 251/2 credits. So he would of had to repeat his Senior year for 11/2 credits. Children that come from another school to a school that require more credits should be exempt from having to have the 27 credits. My son had to be placed in Adult Education because of this & it wasn't fair to him at all.... I believe all Delaware schools should have to have the same amount of credits definitely not more than another Delaware school your Senior year.... Very Upset & Disappointed in this being allowed....
