In July 2003, LN was accepted into the International Baccalaureate Program and 15 students entered the program during its initial offering in the fall of 2004.

From the class of 2005, 10 of the 588 students in the class received the honor of becoming National Merit Semifinalists, while seven of these advanced to Finalist Status with the National Merit Corporation.

Freshman school

In the fall of 2001, the Freshman School was opened to the 650 incoming students of the class of 2005.
