School Reviews
5   3/2/2011
I am currently a student at LMS and our school has great academic programs. Our school has a high average GPA and incourages my classmates and I to always give 110 percent. We have a choir and band class including many art classes. We have Basketball, Football, Wrestling, Volleyball, Cross Country, Track, and they are all a taste of what high school sports are like. Our school has many athletic people and awards. Our school is big and has nice classrooms that are good focus areas. Parents are encouraged to participate in sports, clubs, and field trip activities. I am an 8th grader here and out of all 4 years of being here I love the teachers and material learned. The teachers hear help us to learn, they do not talk at us they teach like schools should be. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for good activity and learning material.
