My child is in sixth grade, and has had a fabulous experience at LCMBS. She has grown academically, intellectually, and has become prepared to move on to seventh grade. The teachers are very accessible (they return emails and phone calls quickly). I couldn't have asked for a better experience for her.

I attended this school recently. I did not think the school offers everything. The school is very big and the atmosphere is sometimes not a very positive envirnonment. Help was not available, and the ciriculum is very rigid. Someone who struggles with an academic subject does not benefit. Principal

I have read most of the comments on this page and to the people who say that this school is bad, I highly disagree. The schedule is actually very good.

The teachers don't give a lot of homework and they usually give 5 or so minutes at the end of class to start it. Most of the time I'm done before I get home. If your child is failing it is because they don't apply himself/herself. The school isn't that big and after a few days, you get the hang of d location of classes.
