I've had 2 children attend Louis Armstrong Middle School and they are both doing extremely well now because of the preparation that they received at Louis Armstrong.

The Parent coordinator of this school is truly awesome. She keeps you abreast of everything. She accessible and returns phone calls promptly. The teachers are great and offer extra help during free periods. The school has great trips to really open up a child's mind. My daughter commutes but loves the school so much she doesn't mind boarding a bus at 6:45am. She truly loves the atmosphere and teachers at LAMS!!

I love this middle school! Go LAMS!! I am now an 8th grader of 2009-2010 on the 3rd floor and I love Ms. Delvalle and Ms. Greenspan. For all my life I was quiet and bashfull, but now this school turned me around and I'm not afarid to tell people my opinion (I wanna be a politician). We have AP Algebra and Bio for the 8th graders. The staff and teachers are very nice and supportive. We also have 5th graders. We have different electives of different talents and hobbies: art, band, ceramics, orchestra, chorus, and more! I also want to wish the very, very best for Ms. Barashy's family, and I always liked Ms. Barashy, she was quiet funny.So...I TOTALLY RECCOMEND THIS SCHOOL!

It's simple...best teachers, best administrative staff, most caring adults...and the children know it!

my child graduated class of 09. she loved this school. i think it was a great school. teachers very helpful and open even when you may have problems with them. a new principal is on board. the last one although efficent wasn't available. i thought homework was kind of lax. overall this is a freat school and very safe which is important.

These are the best years of my life.Every moment and day i have spent at this school has showed me something new.There is a lot of involvement from teachers and parents as well .Lams is a great school with involved teacher and parents. At first i was scared of everything but in the past 2 years i have become a better friend and person, all the teachers have showed me many things.Even though their are a few flaw though their are a few flaws like the building since it was built in 1979! but its a great journey that i have taken with my parents ,friends and teachers.I will be so sad when i graduate next year
