Luther Burbank Middle School

The Principal, Vice Principal and all of the teaching staff are AMAZING. My son is in 8th grade now and it has been such a wonderful experience for him. The teachers are so supportive and work very hard to help the kids succeed. My son has done exceptionally well at Luther and it is with a heavy heart we have to leave. I wish they taught all the way until 12th grade!

Wow-I never thought I'd hear my son say that he liked English. Mrs. McHorney must be an amazing teacher to have inspired him that much. What a wonderful school this has been for my son, who is now in 8th grade. Mrs. Schackmann and the other administrators all know my son by name and really care about their students. Thank you, Mrs. Schackmann and staff for making Luther such a wonderful environment in which to learn. You are very much appreciated!

I have a 6th and 8th grader at Luther. Although this is just the beginning of the year, I have quickly learned that the teachers genuinely care for their students. Creativity is a major learning tool in these classes. Any parent knows that being creative is crucial when getting and keeping the attention of a child. Back-to-school night was well organized and I was sold on the schools motto, 'Moving in the Right Direction.' Keep up the good work, Luther!

Luther has had a make-over inside and out! The principal and her staff are doing a great job. My son is thriving. I am very pleased and thankful for all the positive changes. Remember, how well your child does in school starts in your own home.

Luther has come a long way from just a couple of years ago. There is great leadership. Mrs. Schackmann, Mr. O'Rourke and a fantastic school security team, keep things running smoothly. They are personable and actually know their students. They make themselves available to the parents and students at all times. Any issues brought up to them get resolved immediately. They oversee and are very involved in all activities at LBMS. In the past couple of years Mrs. Schackmann has brought in some excellent teachers to join the other amazing teachers that have hung in there, and now can concentrate on teaching. These teachers seem to really recognize the worth of what they are doing and take a sincere interest in their students. I see LBMS becoming the quality middle school in Burbank that it once was.

I moved to the burbank are because of the schools, my son was at John Muir and very happy but because where we bought our house they moved him to Luther, my son and I are very unhappy with Luther, teachers are not prepared, my son had his semester and they were behind and what the teacher did was just give the students what was going to be on the test, of course my son got an a+ but they didn't study 3 chapters. Parents are not involved at all. So sad that my son is stock in that school and can't go to Muir.
