I am a former student of Lawrence, and I can tell you the school has changed a bit since I first came there. Although the staff says they strictly enforce many rules (such as the one way hallway and backpack policy), I was surprised that at the end of my last year there that they begun to become a little
... Read more sloppy and let a few of backpacks in classrooms (then again no one's perfect), but aside from that, the staff was friendly, despite being strict, and the principal was very kind too, always supportive of our sport teams and our great music department. The counselors are all nice and they can help you if their not busy. Other than that, Lawrence seems like a great school, but be careful of those bad kids with failing grades. Read less

My son has been at Lawrence for 2 years. The teachers were surprised by me showing up and asking how things were, but it was more because most parents don't show up and check in or they just hear from parents who's kids have bad grades. I volunteer regularly and now most staff know me. They are very
... Read more strict and quick with zero tolerance. I have never felt my child was in any danger. I feel one way hallways is a great idea. This alleviates the kids getting trampled as one comment above noted. The no back packs in class rooms does work very well. The class room size is limited and when you have 30 back packs laying all over, there is no walk room. And it also eliminates a child from bringing any unwanted threats into the rooms. I have been very pleased with this facility. Read less

My son has been at Lawrence for 2 years and is now being shoved over to Fertitta so rich kids can be re-zoned to this school. However, it may be a good thing as any 10 second tardy results in missing the entire class (now that's good education!) and many other nit picking things has given my student
... Read more a very poor attitude to school and authority. The band was great, but the second year, raw beginners were placed in advanced classes making it boring for any students with experience. The back pack rule seems paranoid and it weighs 23 lbs. My summary seems the staff is too frightened of what could happen and it just seems like prison. Read less

As a former Lawrence Junior High student, I must say that I was very surprised by the other comments. I thought my three years at Lawrence were great, and never experienced any negativity. Behavior issues and poor grades are not the fault of the school, but the fault of the student and quite possibly
... Read more his home life/values. Entering middle school can cause people to fall into peer pressure and want to 'be cool.' It has nothing to do with the school. The teachers and administrators are wonderful, and as a recent graduate [graduating with a 4.05 GPA] I think it's safe to say that with the proper motivation, Lawrence is a great learning environment.
