Red Arrow Preps is a local digital publication dedicated to covering Lowell schools and the Red Arrow community. Coverage includes athletics, student achievements, performing arts, education, and feature stories that matter to Lowell families.

No. Red Arrow Preps is an independent, locally operated platform. While it covers Lowell Area Schools closely, it is not owned by or officially affiliated with the district.

Some content is free to read, including select news updates and community announcements. Premium articles, deeper coverage, and long-form features are reserved for subscribers.

A Red Arrow Preps subscription is $5 per month.

Red Arrow Preps primarily covers Lowell schools, including their teams, clubs, activities, educators, and students.

Business features are available only under limited, local-focused circumstances and are not standard advertising content. A business article may be considered for a $150 coverage fee if one or more of the following applies:

• The business employs at least one Lowell Area Schools student who can be quoted and is making a meaningful impact within the organization

• The business directly serves Lowell Area Schools or Lowell students in some capacity

• The business is a sponsor of Red Arrow Preps, Red Arrow Athletics, or Lowell schools

All featured businesses must have clear, established local ties. Red Arrow Preps does not publish articles or advertising for non-Lowell entities.

Reporting on injuries is a part of sports coverage. However, due to the sensitive nature of injuries, Red Arrow Preps keeps any injury-related reporting general and non-specific. Injuries are referenced only when relevant to game context or team performance and are described in broad terms, both to respect athlete privacy and to maintain competitive fairness. Medical details, diagnoses, and recovery timelines are not reported.
