i think you school needs more computer and more time to do homework in the classes near the end of the class time.also i think the childs can use the lockers when they need them.they need some place to put their extra book.when class is over they have 5 mintures to get ready and to find thir classes.can the students wear things on their arms or necks

Horrible, Horrible, HORRIBLE. I wouldn't advise anyone to go to this school. The teachers do not care any bit for their students. The students do not learn anything either. There are also constant physical fights here too, about 1 to 4 fights a month. Now, do you want your kids to get into a fight? I'd think not. This school also very strict, though, no one seems to care. okay , you are being warned: don't be surprised if your kid goes home with a detention saying 'unzipped jacket' on it, and if your kid is an Honer Roll Student, don't be surprised if s/he brings home a ' C ' on his or her report card. Trust me, I used to be an 'A,B' student, but i got my first ' C ' here.

I am a student in this middle school. I would say this school is not in a good shape. The teachers in the school are no help to student. All of the students in the school have to respect for their teachers and the people around them. There academic program is very poor. The school has no disregard for language between the students and teachers. I would not advise any parent or student to attend this school.

need better teachers & not safe get better lunches

I am so very sorry that my child attend L.H. Marrero Middle School. My child did not learn anything. The teachers do not care, and the students have behavior problems. It has the highest turnover rate than any school on the westbank. The principal defends her incompantant teachers. I am so very disappointed in myself for even allowing my child to attend this school. I am now seeking and researching for better schools.

I do wish there was better communication from the administrators and or teachers to the parents. Coming from an elementary school to a middle school is a big adjustment for the parent as well as the student.
