The teachers and faculty really prepare their students for college and in life. There is a competitive culture both academically and athletically that really pushes students in ways that parents can't teach. It's a new school, so it's not really on the map for a lot of the competitive colleges even though the rigorous classes and involvement in extracurriculars are different from most public schools.

I have never seen or heard of a school like Lambert. The kids are 100% focused on money and what their parents earn. The best part is that they are just middle class folks that happen to have more than state average income. They would be poor in other parts of the country, but the entitled kids have no idea that the parents are going in debt to try and look rich. Also, drugs are a huge issue here. The “rich” kids use drugs and drink every weekend. Also, the cheerleaders are bullies and treat others horribly. I regret moving in this school district and plan on moving to another area of the county.

I went to Lambert for high school and it was amazing. Every class I took was advanced or AP, so I can only attest to those teachers. I enjoyed every single class I took at LHS. I feel like my teachers really pushed me to do and be the best I could. I was academically challenged but also challenged in my character as a person and my abilities to be an effective leader. LHS made me extremely prepared for college. I quickly learned after about a month or so into college that I was really one of the few people fully ready for college and how challenging it can be and I credit that to the AP programs at LHS and the teachers that teach those courses. The principal is the absolute best and is very approachable, so if you have any issues you can always go to him. Also, LHS is doing everything they can to improve. They have had feedback sessions with Alumni to see how they can better prepare students for their post high school life and are constantly updating how they run things. You truly won't get a better high school in Forsyth County. There are a lot of opportunities to succeed here in all aspects (academics, sports, clubs, etc) and all of their programs are quality, from their healthcare pathway to Deca to their theater program. I truly loved Lambert and highly recommend this school to anyone.

Yes, there are a lot of drugs at Lambert. Yes, there are also some of the best people that I have ever met. Coming from a student, Lambert (LHS) is what you make of it. You decide who you want to hang out with, and just like every other school in the world, there is a good and a bad side. My experience was "okay" I was in a mixture of on-level, and AP level classes, so I saw the school from both sides. On one hand, you do find a lot of kids who are rude, abuse/use drugs, and need to get a reality check, however, there are also (usually in my AP classes) a lot of kids who are determined, caring, and supportive of your dreams and aspirations. In the end, it all comes down to who you want to be, and who you hang out with. It is easier to get in with the right (kind, caring, and intelligent) people if you are in the AP classes, but I also noticed that there are a lot of good people in on-level classes too. Overall, I would say ike 90% good in AP, and then 70% good in on-level.Thank you, and remember, this is just an opinion. Everyone's will be different.

This school is full of parents that will tell you it is the greatest school in the country. Sadly, the reality is quite different. The parents treat others very poorly at all events and they try to see who has the newest car or purse. The moms are very in to themselves and really don't seem to realize their children are out of control. The drug use is the highest among all the high schools in the area. I pulled my child and went private due to he kind of people that go to Lambert. I would caution you to get the real story before you would ever send your child here.

Lambert is a very good school with parents who care about their kids education and are actively involved.

We moved from Gwinnett County trying to escape the over-development in that county and can't believe we're in the same situation again! Simply put, the school is not keeping up with the growth in the area. I was shocked in a recent school visit to see more trailers than ever before, hallways so crowded I could barely move during class changes, and classes with not a desk or chair to spare. My worry is that this overcrowding is creating an environment that's not conducive to individualized attention to students by teachers and more students will fall through the cracks as a result.

Agree with Aug. 21, '13 post. Also, if your child makes one silly mistake the administration does everything they can, honestly or not, to get rid of them, so unless your child is mistake free, buyer beware! After discovering this, my child did much better elsewhere.

Lambert is the best. It starts with the Principal on down. Dr. Davison is a dedicated educator who makes sure he has the best teacher in his school. His vision for Lambert from the beginning was for this school to be the best. They are well on their way to being that. My daughter graduated in 2012. All you need to do is visit this school and you will see why these students, teachers and parents LOVE it there.

Love this school. Administrators, teachers and students all shoot for the stars! All of this in just a few short years. Lots of clubs, sports and other ways for kids to get involved.
