I go to W.W. Lewis Middle School. It is an amazing school that is very put together and safe. LMS offers much more than other middle schools, however this school is fun, not threatening and there is always something fun going on -elyse legros

Having had three children go through this school, I am very pleased. The teachers care and are very dedicated to doing all they can to make sure every child is learning. The school is safe and, although large, it has a family atmosphere. There are many activities to interest everyone.

Well, my expierence with Lewis was not a good one. The bullying is out of hand, the administration, nor the teachers act like they care what some students go through in a days time there.
