I hate this school so much. Its like were in a prison. And to make things worse, the staff is so rude and cold to students. They make you feel so small. Its either do what they say or face the consequences, we’re literally teenagers/kids what more do they want from us. Being in this school sucks so much and i hate it, i wish i could just move so i wouldnt be there anymore.

I am a student here at LHJH and if you are a parent that doesn't know what to expect, let me break it down for you. Let's start with teachers. First of all, every teacher cares about the kids there and loves every one of them. Although some can be harsher than others, no teacher I've met does not care about or love the kids. Even as a student, you can tell that all the teachers like everyone equally and do excellent work at their job. Each teacher carefully prepares students for tests and cheers them on all year. They take their jobs seriously and are incredibly kind to everyone. Now let's talk about the students. The stereotypical middle schooler is truly not far from the actual students here. They are crazy, irresponsible, stinky, and do bad things. I'm not saying everyone is like this, but a good 35% are. I think a lot of parents are unaware that their children go to school and swear, get in fights, skip class, etc. Again, not everyone does this. Only a small percentage. If you think people do drugs, smoke, jump people, etc. you are wrong. You may hear rumors, but they are almost never true and I have never seen this happen before. The thing that happens the most out of those three is kids getting jumped so make sure to stay out of trouble with other kids or tell your children to stay out of trouble because some kids are not afraid to tackle you and steal your stuff in the middle of the hallway. But before you decide to switch to a private school, remember that out of all these bad things kids have done it rarely ever happens and when it does only like 0.5% of kids actually do it. These kinds of situations are rare but do happen. Usually, as well teachers and staff jump in to stop this whenever they can. There is an amazing nurse as well as a counselor who will help you with all your needs. Super nice people and I recommend them. The teachers do a great job of teaching the material and making it fun for kids. As for family engagement, there isn't much, to be honest. Unless you tell you're mom or dad about your entire school day every day, the parents don't really know much. There are some events like an open house or multi-cultural night, but other than that not much. Teachers will email you back though!! I have some good news for kids but bad news for parents: there is barely any homework! sometimes none! In my 7th-grade year, I had no homework at all! It really just depends on the teacher. Thank you for reading this really long review bye!

Clean classrooms. Clean Restrooms. Awesome playground. Cool cafeteria.
