Alice B. Landrum Middle School

My daughter attends Landrum, and is constantly stressed with the amount of homework. Many of the teachers have unreasonably high expectations. My daughter is doing about 4 hours of homework a night. She seems to have a test or a quiz every day. Some of the teachers are absent a lot, and take forever to grade papers and tests.

School is not different than another MS around, just located in PV and has less multicultural group of students.School officials are concentrated on rules,limits and scores instead of be worry about educational process and academic success for every child. Teachers sites mostly not up to date and can not be counted as a help for parents who want to be involved. Parent Assist could be a useful tool if it could be updated frequently. Very limited help or support for the struggling kids and no help for the parents who ask for it.I do understand that some kids are not an ideal students, but schools were never established only to serve and educate ideal children. We need to make sure that no child is left behind just because he or she requires a different approach in teaching.

School is great if your child is academically gifted however it is really easy for your child to fall off the radar if they struggle in anyway. Limited help or support for the child. Poor parent/teacher connection (teachers only reach out if your child is failing entire grade, bad quarter isnt enough for them to pick up the phone). The fallback is Parent Assist which is a useful tool but there are too many excuses about why there are discrepencancies.

Its a very good school with hard working teachers. Not the nicest kids. The system over all is not all that good but i wouldn't say it was terrible either.

I believe that the kids in LMS are nice(most of them) and very smart, but I think the Dress Code is very strict!

I think it's overall a good school, relative to other schools in the area. I was raised in Ohio, and I do believe that in general the school systems up north are preferable. I am blown away by how mean middle-school kids can be to each other, and I do wish more could be done with the attitudes of these kids. They are capable of so much more when they stay positive!

I personally go to the school, and I think the curriculum is on schedule, but the behavior of some students is unbelievable.
