This is a school where most of my family has attended. 3 siblings, and now 2 of my children. I am grateful for this school and the people that have dedicated themselves to serve it! I would recommend this school to any and everyone that asks me. 1 point of notice that I believe shoukd he considered, iprep math seems to be unnecessary if the teachings do not continue beyond the 6th grade. Maybe this form may work better with more mature students who have already become accustomed to the middle schools ways, and them may be more adept to handle the way this curriculum is ran.
Here is why I only wish I had enrolled my daughter here sooner: I have lived blocks away from the school for almost 20 years. When my daughter finished her 5th grade at Spanish Lake Elementary a wonderful beyond words school, her next logical step was LCMS. While the school was already under a new principal, Mr. Nelson Izquierdo, I could not envision myself sending my little princess there due to the mental pictures I had taken when I drove past it years ago. Even though I spoke with LCMS teachers and with office staff who assured me the school was changing under Mr. Izquierdo's watch, the images I had seen stayed with me and I did not feel comfortable dropping her off there every morning and driving away. So, I made what I now consider "the biggest" academic mistake I have made with her. I enrolled her in the nearest charter school, who shall remain nameless. 'Such a prestigious school', I thought. 'There's a waiting list, and getting in is so hard, and it's not LCMS.' I thought. Fast forward 2 years later, now my little one is entering 8th grade...I came knocking at the door at LCMS...because as it turned out, when my daughter asked to take on extra math classes at the charter school, this request was quickly denied, even though a the extra class was available, and b her grades of A final grade and 4 FSA supported her request. What school who truly cares about their students, turns away a student who is asking for more work? If the student is prepared to take the chance, give up free time, and take on added stress, what right does a school have to hold the student back? What is the logic? Maybe they are too worried about their own standing and pick and choose who they take the chance on? Or maybe it's who you know? At the charter school, her schedule for 8th grade was not challenging. This is very detrimental because our human brain needs the challenge. The more we ask of it, the more it produces. Not to mention that my child, much like yours, will be applying to get into their dream school soon. In my opinion, colleges like to see applicants who chose the challenging classes - not algebra 1 and physical science in 8th grade! I withdrew her, an A student, and the office staff did not even ask why. They don't care, they have a list of names waiting to take her space. Now at Lawton Chiles Middle School, my daughter is enrolled in 4 Cambridge courses, she's being challenged, her circle of friends are in higher classes, through no fault of hers, and I could not be more excited for her future. I wish she was taking Geometry and Biology, but I have the charter school to thank for that. I wrote this review to let parents in the area know that there is a wonderful middle school in our community. I encourage you to give it a chance. Her principal not only wants the students to learn how to solve a problem, but what to do with the solution, how to put it to use. It seems to me that LCMS is not afraid to give their students the chance to soar.
I am having an amazing time in this school the staff are great the my friends are amazing and best of all teachers are not going to reject you from asking for extra credit but besides that your kids will enjoy being in this school as much as I did for the past 3 years so I encourage you the parents to put your kid at LCMS they'll have a blast and also I forgot to mention that the school wouldn't be this much fun if it wasn't for our wonderful principal Mr. Izquierdo hes always think of fun stuff for the students and that's all I have to say
This is a beautiful and fun place to learn and I recommend your child to come to this middle school :
Iys an awesome school much more betyer than before
