If you’re not a frequent reader of U.S. News Education magazine, then you’ve probably missed that Lloyd was considered one of the best high schools in the country, and I repeat… in the country! Lloyd racked up a bronze medal last month.
As stated in the Erlanger City Newsletter “U.S. News chose only 4,707 Schools or 27 percent ‒ as the highest-ranking schools in the nation. Lloyd Memorial High School is on that list”.
Lloyd’s hard work has indeed paid off. Last year Lloyd had 47 students in Advanced Placement classes, with only AP U.S. History and AP Literature offered. This year Lloyd stepped up its game by adding three more AP classes. 181 kids are challenging themselves and taking AP classes this year.
Senior and current AP student Evan Franxman said, “Receiving a bronze medal looks great for the
school and it truly shows the hard work has paid off, and we look better than Dixie”.
IC3 teacher Laura Albrinck feels like the teachers had a great part in this accomplishment; “I feel like I helped with the career readiness of these students, and I am very proud” she added.
Teachers indeed do play a huge part in our accomplishment. 72% of Lloyd’s staff has a master's degree and 36% have earned Rank 1, the highest status in Kentucky. So it’s definitely not just a coincidence that our numbers have topped other Northern Kentucky high schools.
