Lundahl is amazing. My son is just finishing his 6th grade year and it has been such positive experience for him. Everything has been wonderful, starting with the school leadership, to the teachers, to the athletic activities he has been involved with. The school has a supportive culture, it feels safe and comfortable for the kids. My son is challenged academically, and feels accepted. Overall, couldn't be happier with this experience.

The school is 50-50. It's good because of awesome teachers like Mr. Nenn, and other company, you can also get lots of good extra credit in classes but what's best is Mr. Grubbs with his backflips. But what's bad about it is mean teachers that I'm not gonna say, and the school has no air conditiong which bothers lots of students at Lundahl.

Its okay, I'm a 7th grader. But the kids tend to be... eh. Not the best. The lockers don't open right. My grades are worse. And there's not really air conditioning... The good thing is the extra curricular and the teachers are nice. OH and mr. grubbs is awesomee!!

I am a sixth-grader from Lundahl and it's awesome! There are tons of great after school activites. I'm in an 'gifted' class (extra curricular) and the teachers have so much to offer!

They are great! they have extra teachers there to help during and after school, when you needed help which is why i went from almost a strait C student to A's and B's. They have a lot of connections with the parents. And they have a massive load of school activities and sports. Their very pertective but i like it. and they will have police at the school every day and even if somebody threatend to have a shooting at the school. The only thing if you really want to hear something wrong with it i would sya a little more air conditioning!

Lundahl has lots of outside activities, perfect for any student. It has diffrent band levels and has various art, music, and language classes, along with the basic corses too. It has a group of extra-cericuler clases for those who learn at a faster pace. It also has a great staff who are very helpful to the students.

I think this school is pretty nice, compared to the other schools in the area, it has the least amount of problems with behavior.

I am a seventh grader at lundahl. I feel that this school is good at being a good influence emotionally for the students, but sometimes academic studies are hard to come by.

I am not a parent but a student of lundahl middle school. I'm in eigth grade. this school needs major updating on ventilation. the upper gym has no windows and is always hot even in the winter. some teachers are very under qulified for the job if you ask me. I would only give this school 2 stars. the only things I find impresive there is the math and science courses.

I love this school! I'm a student and I've loved every minute of it! The kids are great and the teachers are awesome. This is one of the best schools I've gone to. There are many extracirricular activities to participate in too! If your into sports or are not so athletic there's something for you!

This is a good school but is very old so there is no air conditioning and could be updated a little more than it is.
