Lewis S. Mills High School

I graduated as a student in the class of 2010 and felt well prepared for college learning. Mills prepares students and challenges them, as well as has strong extracurricular and sports programs in which students regularly excel. Many of the teachers are excellent and are not only good at explaining the material but are invested in the student's overall success. School leadership has faltered at times but is overall a strong area.

The school just finished construction and now has one of the best auditoriums around. As a student I can say that there is an extracurricular activity for every type of student. The guidance counselors are with you every step of the way with any problem you may have or anything you need to know about college, military, or just your future. The teachers are all very willing to take the time to help you after or before school. There is alwyas fun activities planned for us which allows all of us to be involved. Also we have a very good art program with more than enough supplies to go around to every art student, located in two large studios.

'LSM is a great school. The academic programs are good and they offer honors and ap classes in addition to 'college prep' courses. The music program is great and includes marching band, chorus, and jazz band as well as additional exclusive bands and choral groups. The art program is good as well offering classes in crafts and studio art. There are many extracurricular activities, something for everyone. The class sizes vary greatly (I have had a class with 11 kids in it right after a class with 30 kids) but teachers are always willing to give extra help.'

Not very impressed with the schools in Burlington. A lot of hype from local parents, but the kids in this district seem very unengaged academically. Plus, the list of colleges attended by LMHS grads (over the past several years) is sub-par to be honest. No ivy leagues, no Stanford, no Duke, no Northwestern... I just expected better.

I like the school system. My daughter went to another school for her first few years. When we moved to Burlington she had never used a computer in school. We were surprised to find computers in all the class rooms. She was disappointed that there were no violin lessons(her previous school had violin in grammer school), but she did take flute once she moved into the Middle school. She is now in High School and involved in sports, chorus, and other activities. Teachers keep parents informed thru the usual teacher meetings, but also call or email parents if they want updates. I find most of the teachers very knowledgeable, although there are a couple that could use some improvement in their teaching skills. Overall I am impressed with the schools programs and teaching.
