“LHS seems closer to the downtown area, campus and all the activities in Lawrence, and Free State seems more distant and suburban. But I think they're both good schools.”

— Lucy Daldorph, Lawrence High School sophomore, Lawrence

“Free State is newer, but LHS has more history. I think they've both developed their own traditions at this point.”

— Jake Frydman, Free State High School sophomore, Lawrence

“I think that Free State has better facilities, but LHS has better teachers and programs overall.”

— Will Burg, LHS sophomore, Lawrence

“Free State has more space for classes, sports and activities. It's not as crowded in the halls or the parking lots as LHS. Free State reminds me more of a campus because it's more spread out.”

— Jessica Llull, FSHS sophomore, Lawrence
