I like how grades transition & are separated from other grades. Many announcements sent out open communication, nice class sizes & teachers work hard to help 6th parents and students transition. I have been at LMS 5 years of 24 yrs teaching and have never had a team of teachers, counselors, administrators who worked harder to help students to be successful.

Terrible school!! This would have been my daughter's first year at this school(we moved here) and she would have been in the 8th grade....that is , if we wouldnt have withdrawn her after the first day! The chaos started at the
so called "orientation"....or should we say students and parents running around in hallways. There was no formal orientation, like previous schools
she had attended( where the orientation was scheduled in an auditorium and detailed info was given on drop off, pick up, what time school let in/out, dress code). Instead we found ourselves wondering around in a herd of people trying to find "our teachers". We finally located our "team leader" (Amanda Hiers) who was very rude, loud and aggressive. I was speaking with my daughter when she abruptly, patted her strongly on the shoulder and said, "look at me"..... now as I'm the parent talking to my daughter! One of the other teachers wasnt even there, one was new and said he didnt know alot, and the others I never could even find! Reluctantly, we still decided to give it a try. The first day of school, I dropped my daughter off and within 5 minutes, she calls me crying. She said, some hall monitor had yelled at her and sent her to the office for her clothes. What was she wearing you ask? Shorts that touched her fingertips, a tee shirt with sleeves and tennis shoes! Upon walking into the school to pick my daughter up, Im greeted by two ladies that are screaming for me to get in the crosswalk!.... Like Im a child! I walk in to the front office and say, "I'm here to pick up my daughter"? The old, rude lady says, " well, did you bring her clothes"? My response, no I just dropped her off and didnt even get to end of the street. I requested to speak with the principal but, was denied...saying he was busy! As i waited for my daughter to come from the back( holding prison cell, I guess) a counselor lady comes out and starts to try and justify why my daughter was humiliated for her clothes when we were not even informed of the dress code. I said,' how do you hold a child accountable for a dress code that has not even been given? Her response, " I understand what youre saying, we are going over the dress code today and tomorrow in class....maybe, we should have waited to send her home!!!!! Are you kidding me??? Still until this day, with my daughter being withdrawn, I still have not heard from the principal or received and apology! IF you have another option for a school, choose it!

My daughter started at this school this year and it is HORRIBLE! It's run like a prison. The staff was not very helpful at all with her transition here. I would pull her out in a heartbeat if I could.
