i just graduated from lms and i think that it is a great school.i had great teachers and i had fun learning over at lms.the teachers encourage you to learn and push you around so you could pass or put you in a higher level.they also make it a learning class but at the same time make it fun.the campus is very safe ,the security gaurds are excellent:they help you in looking for classes that you dont know,thier friendly,and their cool to talk too.Dr. Mener is an awesome principal.Mr. Friejo is one of the cool principals that i've met.my last words are that Lynwood Middle School rocks!!!!!!!!!

I just completed my 1st year at Lynwood Middle. I had a great year. The students were willing to learn and came into my class with an open mind. Yes, some students are tought but you know what middle school age is a tough age, we all went through it. We need to be patient with our students and remember that they will one day remember the encouraging words we gave them or the insulting remarks! Mrs. Martinez

I have just rejoined Lynwood Middle School after being away for two years. When I was here, my students had an overall improvement in their test scores. I urged reading at home and informed parents as to how reading progress is made. I taught my students how to tutor peers in reading. This year, my assignment is similar. I hope to make a positive difference again. Academic achievement can be increased. Parents need to be informed as to how to help their children at home. Children need to have support at home with their homework and with reading for enjoyment. Our Back-to-School Night will be October 15th. How many parents will come?
