We moved here at the beginning of my daughters 7th grade year. All of the kids and faculty were so welcoming. My child is in AP classes and so far all of the teachers have been awesome and we haven't had the first bit of trouble with any of the faculty. Something I really enjoy about the school is the electives. She is in the music program which is a whole year course. At her old school she was able to take music(whole year)and the required PE and Spanish classes and that was it. At LEMS she still does her full year music class but also changes electives every 9 weeks so she has the chance to do more which is nice. Love that even through 8th grade they get recess. Kids need a break and it may only be 15-20 min it's better than nothing. Pick up and drop off is awesome and moves smoothly everyday. I haven't heard of too much trouble going on at the school. Don't hear of fighting and stuff like that very often. Over all we LOVE this school especially compared to other schools have went to and ones our friends and families kids go to. The horror stories. Thankful for such a great school.

I have been very pleased with this school. My child went from an average student to a straight A student here. The teachers have been great and the principal stays on top of things.

My child has been attending this school for 2 years now and any request or conern has been met with full attention. I'm very impressed with most of the teachers and the curriculum. They take discipline issues very seriously which I feel is extremely important.

I think this school gives students a high quality education in a good supportive learning environment. I have had no issues with the staff with the exception of one 8th grade science teacher which shouldn't be teaching but that's another story, all schools have those. The rest of the teachers have been top notch and make the learning process as much fun and interesting as possible. One last thing, the new school building is a HUGE improvement over the old and Mr. Matthews will be sadly missed, he is friendly to the kids as well as the parents and has done a great job at LEMS and it was much appreciated.
