I recently graduated this school and i have to say that this school has put many of the students through a very hard time. The teachers care sum-what and the administaration is dead on the students backs and they truely care about the students. Its just the children that is the problem im not saying

Read more its everyone but its the majority of the children who are unfocused and only care about what their so called friends think about them, how many boyfriends or girlfriends they can get, and how they look. This is why so many students failed the crct miserably this year. And if you dont think that its your child check again or maybe stop by the school and see your child in action. Read less

I disagree strongly with the previous posting. I have experienced cooperation with the administrators and teachers at Lovejoy Middle. I believe that they are committed to the students. They are not to blame for the lack of parent involvement. The PTSA has tried hard to get parents involved but it hasn't

The faculty are uncooperative and uncaring. They seem to have given up on the kids. There is no creativity in educating. Work on the gangs in the school and the cleanliness of the bathrooms. The disorganization goes from top to bottom in this school. Amazing

I am truly sorry you feel this way, however I have to say you have not seen the worst school or experienced it. If you think this is the worst, you are definently out of touch with reality.

These are the chronic students who continue to bring our state scores down. Learning is taking place for those you want to receive it. Perhaps the school would be better if many parents were able to see their little darlings in action; I can assure you, there is a difference in their behavior when they are away from mom and dad.
