Great school all around, especially considering the schools nearby. Staff are good towards students, minimal homework.

This is actually personally a great school, but there are some things that need to be taken care of. I love how there is a program for the disabled, and the amount of diversity, electives, and multicultural clubs and activities for after school and during school. I’m in the 7th grade, so it’s reasonable hard me in, mainly in Math. I recommend you do something about the school lunches though. Some of the times, the pizza there is raw or very greasy. The fries are great but sometimes burnt to a crisp. The teachers are great, as well as some subs. Yet, one of the subs aren’t the greatest. Overall, if you plan sending your child to this school, I totally recommend it as a 4.7/5!

Teachers have had ways for years at this school for getting away with a bunch of stuff including giving a lot of English work that so-called setting us up for high school but it is actually giving us a lot of stress and almost to much and causes people to not be themselves a lot of the time

Complicated.... I wish my child were average or above, then I would have nothing but praise. I wish there could be some smaller classes for these overlooked group of kids. They need extra help from someone that is better qualified in American English language and skilled with middle school students. Least restrictive classes are great, but some students can't keep up. All students want good grades. Some students put forth little effort and get all As. Others study for several hours every night and still get Bs and Cs if they're lucky! So much thought and pride is put into sports, it would be wonderful if someone put half of that effort into coming up with a better plan for these little birds. Just one parent's thoughts.

Most teachers are very rude and give some kind of threat

I think my school is amazing, the teachers are always encouraging you to do your best and free to help with any bulling, sometimes they do more than just console you, they solve the problem. I can't see students getting in trouble for no good reasons, if it's for something as small as talking and being disrespectful punishment is only something small like a "lunch detention" (eating lunch in classroom) , I suppose one way my school could improve on is "bonding" activities, forcing us to sit at lunch with people out of our comfort zone does not help us make new friends unfortunately. Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with Larson or its activities. 5 stars from me.

This is a safe school i would and will send my kids here when they are that old. This school is a good example of a safe learning environment and the teachers reach out to the students. On every door it says "I'm a teacher who wants to know about bullying come talk to me or a trusted adult and tell us what's going on and we will stop the bullying" I trust this school the grades are good, the staff if trust worthy. They treat you with respect.
