Poor school, overall. Bullying and fighting is terrible here, and staff don't do enough. They seem to turn the other cheek and not make a big deal about it. My son went here and was bullied all three years while the principal and teachers didn't do anything about it! Very dirty school, and teachers

below average school. Rough and rowdy kids. Half of the teachers care the others watch the clock to run out of the building. Principal loves kids but doesnt really allow parent participation. The kids lose out on opportunities due to this.

I think that this school is the best school I've ever went to. If some kids get into a fight, they do suspend them. Some people don't know what they are talking about when they write about my school.

I have been very pleased with Leonardtown Middle School. I am a middle school teacher at another school and can honestly say that my 6th grader had incredible teachers this past year. Yes, it is a little crowded, but all of the schools are a bit overcrowded. My daughter had spent a lot of time reading

I think all middle schools could use more parent involvement. It is always the same groups of parents helping out. As far as some of the other negative comments, my suggestion is be involved and see for yourself. I have taught in two other MD. counties and LMS is like any other middle school. They all have discipline problems because of the age of the students. Read less

My child attends this school and has had a wonderful experience in his first year of middle school. His afterschool activities are wonderful - he regularly attends 3 a week. He loves his science teacher, Ms. Swick, who is very creative and innovative in the classroom. He is challenged in all of his classes.
