I would like to see more stricter forms of rules, to provide more safety for students in school. A better environment which they are currently working on as they are building new buildings. (A cleaner and nicer environment). Overall, I am happy about choosing to come here, it has given me so many opportunities and experiences, and I met so many of my lifelong friends here. I have been given so many resources like Trio and Gear Up, Student Support Services, where they really prepared me for college. Lowell High School also provided college credit which I found to be very helpful for college, and I really am grateful for coming here. However the experiences with the bathroom and unsanitary part of the school can be a bit overwhelming, but every school can be like that and it can also be changed!

I only attended for my Senior Year at Lowell High and even so, it was all online. I enjoyed all of my classes but I did not make or have any friends. Nonetheless, my teachers were all nice and reasonable. I would say a good change would be to hire more diverse teachers and staff. The diversity in teachers definitely do not match the diversity in the students. More than half
of my teachers were white.
