We have had two children go through the 3 year old to Kindergarten classrooms and have been nothing but immensely pleased. The teachers and leadership are open and responsive to input from parents, and the quality of the education in the classrooms is terrific. Parents are repeatedly invited and encouraged to be involved in both classroom activities and "outside the classroom" activities. Activities are very child-specific and targeted at each child's appropriate level of learning so that the child isn't bored or frustrated.

I have three children who went to LMS through elementary school. (There was no middle school at the time - which there is now - otherwise they would have stayed longer.) The education my kids received set a great foundation for further learning; the relationships they built with their teachers then continue now; the values that LMS provided still influence my daughters' moral compasses. What more can any parent ask of a school?

This is a fantastic school for children. From the toddler class right on through the 6th grade, it is a wonderful and inspiring environment for both the academic and social development of children. They are valued for who they are and what they bring and develop a strong sense of self assurance. Academically the children explore and learn in a safe environment where their discoveries and love of learning are celebrated. The depth of knowledge that my children's teachers have of their students is amazing. The alumni that I have met all credit LMS for their success in their next school experiences. Music, art, library, Spanish & PE are all an integral part of the program and their is plenty of parental involvment in this dynamic community!

This is a truly exceptional school. Combining a dedication to Montessori education with the resources and focus of an independent school, LMS truly has delivered a unique and rich experience for our kids. Ranging from its Toddler program through 5th grade, LMS delivers a focus on the needs of each child in a dynamic and exciting environment. In addition to exceptional academics, the school offers a rich social experience for students and their families alike.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
