Ernest Lawrence Middle School

My son receives special day classes here half-time and his teachers and the leadership at this school are positively superb. I am very pleased, my son is thriving and they have a zero tolerance for bullying. One of the older kids tried to bully my son and as soon as I brought it to his teacher's attention and that of the school counselor, the other child was not longer attending school there. I am extremely pleased at the level of caring shown here at this public school and feel my son is getting an excellent education.

Its the best school i have ever went to. I am in the 6th grade magnet and i think it rocks. Everyone is very welcoming and nice to u. My teachers are great. We do many fun stuff in our school such as dance offs, games, we have clubs for learning and much more. Its an awesome school. The GIFTED magnet is challenging but its worth it because you learn a lot from those projects. There isnt much homework in which u need to struggle on. Lawrence Middle School is the best school in the whole valley. =)

Im a 6th grade magnet student at Lawrence Middle School. The magnet is the best school you will ever think of going to. The teachers are AMAZING and all of the staff are very kind and they will help you with any problem you have. The kids in the magnet will welcome you like you are their best friend and they are the nicest kids in the world. There is never a lot of homework, but a medium level of projects is given. If you are looking for an AMAZING school, Lawrence Magnet Middle School is the place to be. Trust Me. :)

I'm a Magnet kid, and I love the school. THe teachers are really great, and the projects are fun and unorthodox (as in they're unique). Good school, great friends too. I do have to admit the regular program is really bad, but the magnet is great. I dunno bout honors, but Gifted is very good.

I'm a student here at Ernest Lawrence Middle School. A first year 6th grader and already on the first day of school i felt very pleased with everyone welcoming me. After the first week have finished i already knew that this school was right. Even though it's hard at least i have some very nice teachers and staff that will always help us get through our school. All we need to do as students is to keep trying and never e afraid to ask for help. School is fun and this will school will always be there to support you. They have so many cool teachers and activities. They plan and work together. All their efforts helps this school even better. I wish Middle School Never ends. It's tough but someone will always be there for you when you need them to be there. This school is the best!!!!!!!!

GREAT SCHOOL.. My daughter is here since 6 grade, for these last two years she has improved and learn so much that she is an Honors student, yes I know teachers give them lots of homework and projects to do at home with the PARENTS help which I don't seem is a problem with it, because that's why we are there PARENTS we should help with school stuff and more we as parents have more responsibilities with OUR children than the teachers. Counselors and Principal are GREAT! I have no complain at all from this school I am so happy that my daughter will graduate from this school that now my 6 grade son is coming here as well. And I know he will be an honors student too, because this school is Great. Oh did I mention that I drive 60miles EVERYDAY so they can come to this school.

Very disappointing magnet program, gifted education is equated with more mundane work instead of interesting challenges, all of the interesting projects are done at home with parents' guidance.

Very great school! Ive attended this school for 3 years, this being my third. Im in the Honors program and what others say about the school only caring about the Magnet is WRONG. Infact, almost all of the honors teachers, as well as all the other teachers on campus are great. If they arent nice, they are still inspirational and great teachers. All of my teachers have been and are great, some extremely strict but they still teach you a lot and help as much as possible. GO LMS!

I was very excited to send my child, but after 3 years passed and she is graduating fro LMS. I was disappointing of many teachers attitude toward to students. Many teahers lose students homework, and telling students the class is too big to teach. Why should she has been teacher in first place??? My daughter was very discouraged to study or submite her project. Councelor? what do they do? I felt most of the time if students have problem, it's always has been students fault, not school.... Please listen more students voices!!! Please be a educator!!!
