The Articles needs more history and better resources.
The article takes great emphasis on the structure of the new Lawrence high school campus that has been divided into different academies. While it is relevant to know the structured the article lacks the history of and motivation for the transformation that the high school undertook about a decade ago. The articles then quickly brings us to some of the statistics from the Boston magazine article published in 2012 entitled “the city of the of the dammed” which takes a biased opinion on some of the struggles the city faces. The article takes emphasis on statistics that have no clear source and is filled with resident accounts who could have answered through the frame a question might have been asked. From the four sources listed for this article the most resourceful could potentially be the statistic provided by the school and district profiles website. It is a government website that provided with a performance report on the SATs for 2014-15. In summary, Lawrence High school has an extensive and rich history that this article is lacking. The high school in an immigrant city has been highlighted in the book Standard History of Essex County, Massachusetts edited by Henry Wheatland and History of Lawrence, Massachusetts by Horace Andrew Wadsworth. This would provide with a better resource and richer history of Lawrence high school. Sandratorres28 (talk) 02:53, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
