My child is in the middle of her 1st year at this school. VERY frustrating! We have health issues and CAN NOT get anyone to ever address them. We get no emails back or phone calls from the teachers or the guidance office.

LCMS's administration, faculty and staff are simply the best! Not only are the terrific educators they LOVE kids and they are committed to developing them into well-rounded, WHOLE young adults. LCMS is a true blessing in my life and the lives of my kids!

Great school. I am a parent of two students, both went to LCMS, one currently at LCMS and another now at HHS. I have been a substitute at this school and was very impressed with the staff and teachers. They offer advance classes and the students work hard to get their grades. I would recommend this school to anyone.

About the tests


Florida uses School Grades to measure the overall performance of a school each year on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT). Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
