We moved from broward county to Highlands county. Lake Placid is absolutely wonderful my son has adhd and was struggling in school in broward county thanks to the care and concern of the staff at lake placid he was on the honor roll all year long it was incredible. In my eyes this school deserves High grades across the board. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful teachers with innovative teaching skills. The degree of enthusiasm and involvement with students is what is most impressive. Parents are somewhat involved, but could be encouraged to do more. Extracurricular programs are good, but more programs specializing in the arts would be an improvement. Children locally are not always able to take advantage of dance & music classes. They have a 5th grade band which is really good for the students. Overall, it was a great school and provided a good foundation for my child's education.

My daughter went to LPMS from K-5th grade. The teachers and principals are very committed to the students and made it a fun, exciting place to learn. The FCAT tests scores don't always tell the whole story - this area has a large % of seasonal farmworkers, most have English as a 2nd language, that makes the test scores lower. They kept my daughter challenged with special curriculum and even moved her to another grade level for certain subjects. While I do think the gifted program for the whole county needs improvements, the program was successful due to an innovative, caring teacher. I chose LPMS over private school.
