My experience with the Lawrence Middle School has been a really positive one thus far. My daughter is going to the 5th grade next year and the Middle School has made the transition an easy process for our family and daughter. The create relationships immediately with children and parents to secure academic success. I will continue to write on my experience as the school year progresses.

Lawrence Middle School provides a safe academic environment. However, the budget has not been passed for two years and the art, music and sports programs are at risk.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
