Linglestown Middle School

I am a student at Linglestown middle school and I honestly think this is an excellent choice for incoming students. The teachers focus on the students as individuals and over the course of the school year can identify each student's weaknesses and strengths. This greatly increases the educational value. Also, the principal is phenomenal and enforces the rules wonderfully. As for academic opportunities, Linglestown has its ups and downs. Although many rigorous courses are available for average and above average students, I found the material basic. Each class covers a wide range of subjects, but merely touches upon them and only moderately offer extensive material on a subject. I think one of the downsides to Linglestown is the many enforced rules. The teachers greatly focus on excellence but some of the rules are ridiculous. However, the school is involved in keeping the students safe environmentally, socially, and everything else. Good job Linglestown!

DO NOT put your child in this school if he/she has a learning disability. CD Schools are not the best with IEP's.

Our child attends Lingelstown which is his first experience with public school. He attended a private school since first grade. I wish we made the switch sooner. He is so much happier, the atmosphere, teachers and the cirriculm are wonderful.

This school has very caring teaches and counselors. All of the staff is willing to work with the parents for better education for the children.

Linglestown Middle School is the best middle school in the Central Dauphin School District. The team-teaching concept and a strong curriculum combine with great neighborhoods to make this a great place for students.
