I'm a 7th grade student here at lams. don't bring your child here its not good. at lunch they don't let you talk. also the teaches don't care if you pee your pants well not all teachers. the food is horrible, sometimes its like its not cooked. but other teachers love to teach their students but it seems like others do not.
My three years here have been the most amazing years of my school life so far . The teachers REALLY do try to comprehend each and every student in their own needs. They enjoy seeing the students try and encourage them . Students that do the normal tasks of school and behave are rewarded. The Principal listens to the requests of the students and he proposes options for us as long as we cooperate and do our best. I know this years fcat scores will be great , im ready and i belive so are all of my other freinds. We also have an AMAZING sports team and many activities like foreign langueges (french/spanish). I know many people listen to what former student's parents have to say about our school , but thats just the stereo type, we have changed , come and see all the positive things happening here at LAMS , AND GOOOOOOO BRUINS!
Lehigh Acres Middle has a very stimulating gifted program in which students can participate in hands-on activities and communicate with people of their own IQ level.
I have 2 children attending LAMS. I have only been disappointed with the lack of organization discpline and overall attitude of the entire staff. Meetings don't help the teachers won't show up. The administration and teachers don't get along with each other. The students are neglected intellectuakky and emotionally. I'm moving to another state so my kids might actually learn something.

I love LAMS because all the teachers there are nice and smart. The schools principle is even better, he makes the school fun and we still learn at the same time. I went there 6th, 7th, and currently 8th grade.

I am a former student of Lehigh Acres Middle School, and i would have to say that the current rating from this site is far off from the actual school. Though it is true that the school was very rough in the past, they have changed drastically. Of all the three years I attended this school, I never once doubted my decision to go there. It has an amazing gifted program that has changed not only me, but everyone I have seen in the program. The gifted program teaches in a style that keeps all students interested and actually wanting to go to school, but also teaching a large amount. The school is full of wonderful teachers and staff who are willing to listen and take care of your student. I strongly recommend to anyone who has this school as a choice that they should look into it greatly.

Lehigh Acres Middle School is a great school. True in the past they were bad, but they have changed. I myself was a student at LAMS and I was in the gifted program. The teachers were great and their style of teaching was superb they did not discriminate against anyone. I seriously recommend sending your child to LAMS.

I was very happy with this school as a whole. We moved here mid-year from another state. At my son's last school there was a lot of violence, and the school had trouble getting kids under control. My son's whole nature changed at Lehigh Acres Middle School right from the start. He came home smiling, and was happy about his school experience. It means a lot to a parent when you know that your child is in a safe environment, and kudos to Lehigh Acres Middle School for being able to provide that. I had orginally planned on sending my son to a private school next year, but since my son is so happy at his present school I am letting him stay. I would highly recommend this school to those parents who wish their for their child to succeed.

I am a student in the gifted program and I recommend parents to try getting your kids into it! We go on many great trips and the classroom teaching techniques are not boring whatsoever.The school itself even without the gifted program is terrific!So parents if you want to send your child to the greatest middle school in lee county Lehigh Acres Middle School is the place.

Keep up the good work LAMS!

I had two children attend this school and I would recommend sending your children to another school. They do not beleive in communication between student and teachers. They discriminate against anyone that is different from the standard. If your child is strong willed or independent they will try to crush your childs true nature. This is a hard school for any child strong willed or not. Please heed my warning do not send your child to this school.

I like this new principal. He is on the ball and a great asset to the school. The teachers my daughter has had so far are teaching her well.

I think Lehigh Acres Midle School is a terrible school and I do not reccomend it to anyone to let there children attend. The teachers aren't good at all, the principle is the worst principle you could ever imagine, and they pick out students like like and dislike. Any students they dislike are not treated fairly.
