Like most parents, I was apprehensive when my child was getting ready to move on from elementary to middle school. LRMS did an outstanding job not only addressing my child's concerns, but mine as well. We were put at ease knowing the 6th graders are grouped together the first year, with classes and lockers near other 6th graders only. Older 7th grade students mentor the incoming 6th graders at an orientation prior to the start of the school year teaching the ins and outs of how to navigate the campus and lockers. Parents are still kept informed--even more so than elementary--with daily only communication using "School Loop." Most assignments and projects are posted and we have found this to be a great tool. Teachers provide quick replies and clarification via email and welcome the additional family interaction. Back to school night was impressive and each teacher is truly passionate about their subjects. While we loved our local elementary, I have to say we love the middle school even more.
We are finding the academics to be quite easy(too easy) for our son. Too many multiple choice tests, instead of requiring student s to know the information and write their answers. Not seeing a strong emphasis on writing and research in social studies or science. We have heard so many great things about Ladera Middle but have quickly become disappointed with the academic standard. Our son enjoys the social aspects of the school and really enjoys all of his teachers.
Parents seem to think this school is wonderful. It is, great teachers, great academics (and i mean GREAT), but the kids are the not the nicest. They are all minnie Paris Hilton's. They get away with everything and they are so rude. Coming from a student, I don't like how many cliques there are and they can get mean. I am almost done with this school, but ever since 6th grade I have been really super annoyed with the kids here. I'm trying to transfer to another school currently.
This is one of the great schools. when my kids came to Ladera Ranch Middle School they were English learners. As the years passed by, they not improved in English, they even improver star testing levels. Put your kids in Ladera Ranch Middle School please. It's a great school..... 5/5
