When we moved from out of state my child was brand new and they had a very welcoming experience.

Drugs, sex, etc! I don’t know if it’s the high income area or the rise of social media (or both) but kids here have access to drugs at an absolutely alarming rate. If you have a child attending LPMS you better be talking to them about safe sex and the dangers of fentanyl. Something really really terrible is going to happen here -- it’s only a matter of time.

For some reason, middle school (aka junior high) is the most troubling for parents and kids alike. Our family, so far, has had an outstanding experience and relationship with LPMS. A school is what we all make it, and, LPMS staff does a lot to make these tough years as great as possible for students. We highly recommend LPMS to any parent seeking a solid school experience for their teen/pre-teen.

Our child is an 8th grader, so this is his second year at LPMS. He *loves* it here, as does our whole family. The teachers and staff are simply amazing -- they really know and care about the kids. And the students? They support each other, have fun together and genuinely like each other. Huge numbers of students turn out for events. Hundreds for school dances, for instance, and most of them dance! Seriously. Wish I could post videos here. It's a great group of kids and a school that puts a huge emphasis on kindness and teamwork. Highly recommend!

LPMS is a great school and all three of my kids have learned a lot and had good overall experiences there. The teachers really care about their students and it shows! The only thing I wish they would do differently is group kids by where they will go to high school. It's hard for kids to have to go to different high schools after 2 years of being together. I guess they can "choice" to the other high school but that isn't an option for many families.

2 times in every school year they teach us this only two times???

Posted: January 27, 2020

they often pick favorites. put out a lot of homework / projects.

Posted: January 27, 2020

one way or no way. i was in math and if you use lattice or something they will tell you to stop or try to change how you do it.

Posted: January 27, 2020

i've been bullied by 3 people and they switched my classes thats it and now they do nothing. im always paranoid now.

Posted: January 5, 2020

It's hard to rate this, there is little to no communication between the school and home to be aware of homework expectations.

Posted: January 5, 2020

The school invested in identifying the learning styles of the students but the teachers have done nothing to adjust their style or interactions with the students based on the results. Some teachers are not compliant with IEP accomodations and are not cooperative when communication is started regarding said accommodations

Posted: January 5, 2020

Students who are continually rude to students and teachers are given detention but behaviors don't change and learning is disrupted. Administration doesn't want to deal with students with differences so as long as they don't express their differences, they are okay.

Posted: January 5, 2020

There's a vaping problem at this school that leads to student searches without contacting parents that it has happened. Instead of educating students about the problem, they tighten the screws with rules and regulations that impact the learning environment.

Posted: January 5, 2020

Not following my students IEP. Denied multiple requests to meet and clarify accommodations. The school is so focused on college prep that they are enlarging my students learning gap. My student is grouped with other students with learning differences for group projects instead of varying academic abilities.

Posted: January 5, 2020

Haven't heard much about bullying by peers; however, staff, particularly office staff are verbally rude and not supportive of my student. Not impressed with the vice principals or school nurse either.

Posted: January 5, 2020

Not impressed at all. My student has been to four schools total, my family is finally settled down after 25 years of military service, and I am panicked that my student has to finish their education in LP School District as a kid with learning differences. If your child is a typical learner, without any specific needs, who is going to go to college, this vanilla school is a fit, if not, I don't recommend this school district.

Posted: January 4, 2020

This School is perfect for any average learner. If however you or your child aren't average learner's you will not get taught correctly

I feel they are fair with homework despite what some think. It isn’t overwhelming and children have plenty of time to complete it

Posted: April 19, 2019

The teachers do the best they can with the overwhelming amount of kids they deal with.

Posted: April 19, 2019

They try to do this but that happens on its own in children.

Posted: April 19, 2019

Bullying is present and not dealt with

Posted: April 19, 2019

Posted: April 19, 2019

Kids have to tolerate it and it doesn’t get dealt with

Posted: April 19, 2019

Exceptional is the only real way I can put it.

Posted: June 22, 2018

Character is not a key element in the faculty - so development of it in students is impossible.

Posted: June 22, 2018

Totally incompetent and complacent. If you are not in the "in crowd" your concerns are ignored. If you have concerns, you will be minimized!

Posted: June 22, 2018

If you student challenges the make-work (but no homework) approach to wasting in-class time, prepare to be frustrated.

Posted: June 22, 2018

Not even close. Fellow students threw away my child's work folder (which was required to remain in the unsecured classroom) and the teacher made my child re-accomplish the work. Go Bullies!

Posted: June 22, 2018

I have moved around the country and had children in 6 different Middle Schools - this one is in last place on most areas of comparison. If you have a choice, choose a different one!

Posted: June 22, 2018

School rarely assigns homework and then only scores for completion (not correctness).

Posted: March 8, 2018

It was the best. I loved it. They always are listening to both sides of the story (when someone get bullied) and deles with it very seriously. This school is my safe house or my home away from home

All 6 of my daughters are ESL, and 2 are special needs. This school, and this district have bend over backwards for us. They have literally created positions to be able to facilitate my girls. My girls were never lost, they always had 1 on 1 attention when needed.

Posted: March 5, 2018

Kids are kids, and no matter how great a district you have, some kids are just going to be terrible to others. When a kid was aggressive on the bus, they were pulled from the route for the remainder of the year. This district takes bullying very seriously.

Posted: March 5, 2018

Other comments read that there's loads of homework given. I would say that no more homework is given here than when I was a student 25 years ago (in another state)

My daughters are all able to handle their homework in 2 hours or less per evening. (usually 45 minutes) I think that's great for preparing them to take high school and college seriously.

Posted: March 5, 2018

A couple of my daughters have special needs, and all 6 of my kids that have attended LPMS were ESL students. The teachers went to the most extreme degree to help my girls understand their lessons including staying late to tutor. The teachers at LPMS care about what they're doing very much.

Posted: March 5, 2018

This school gives awards to students with great character. Good behavior is expected and respected. Kids are still responsible for who they become, but i believe this district gives them all the tools they need to become great young adults.

Posted: March 5, 2018

I don't have a lot of experience with the leadership per se, but good teachers come from good leadership.

Posted: March 5, 2018

I'm so thankful to live in this district. Whenever i tell other people in nearby towns what district my girls are in, they are impressed. That's a good district!

I attended Lewis Palmer Middle School for 7th grade, 2016-2017 and I had a pretty good year overall. I was behind other kids due to homeschooling the year before and my teachers managed to help work with me and catch me up during the school year and I ended up passing all my classes. The exploratories were wonderful as well. There were so many options to choose from so I got most of the classes I wanted. The teachers at this school are fantastic, as I noticed that most of my teachers went the extra mile to ensure fun and interesting classes that you can keep up with. The after school activities are amazing as well! I was in POMS for seventh grade and it was wonderful. I met new people and built a trust with others as well. And from my knowledge, not many other Colorado middle schools have cheer. I am definitely looking forward to eighth grade at this school as well as high schools in the district.

This is a fantastic Middle School. We love the staff, coaches, and Teachers here. They have lots of sports options, fun activities, and great support.

Posted: February 18, 2015

The variety of food as well as the quality of food provided to the children is great. They have a lot of options for the children something everyone will like.

Posted: July 23, 2014

My child had just gotten out of eighth grade and had a horrible time with bullying throughout his middle school career. I hadn't found out until recently but he had tried to contact the staff but hadn't gotten any help. They ignored all requests he had to fix the problem. I am very dissappointed in this school and am taking my child out of the district for high school.

Lewis Palmer Middle school has a culture of Bullying. From the administration on down. Very overcrowded and not managed well. Many parents are pulling their children out of this school because and concerns with bullying from teachers or students falls on deaf ears......sad school.

Posted: October 13, 2013

My son had a great experience in both 7th and 8th grade. It was great to have all his friends from elementary and preschool here. Their teaming approach meant he got to be in classes with his peers and he developed socially because of it. Cannot say enough about the extracurricular activities especially Band and Jazz Band. My only wish is for more school hours to take more advantage of great electives like Gateway to Tech, a favorite among students.

Posted: October 23, 2011

I have 3 kids and they all loved this School!!!! I think the Teachers and Staff are Great!!!! The teachers are great at keeping parents informed about everything!

LPMS fails to provide a welcoming learning environment. District 38's budget struggles has taken its toll on Lewis Palmer Middle School and its staff. Students who struggle with executive function will find little grace, support, patience, guidance, and tolerance from teachers and staff. 504 & IEP's have little influence. The school is over-crowded. Communication is lacking amongst the staff and with families. The staff seems over-tired and over-worked. Little room is left for teachers to be creative in their approach to teaching individuals based on their strengths and learning styles. Discipline is more of a priority than connecting. On a positive note: the layout of the building is user friendly, the PTO is active and the front office staff are friendly. Students with the ability to easily conform should have little problem adapting.
