We would not have managed a public school experience without the wonderful community and supportive school that make up LNCS.

This a school for bullies and kids that are kicked out of other schools. The principal during the 2025-2026 school year is the absolute worst administrator for this school. She cannot handle this place. She hides in the office and lets the deans handle the work- she sees herself as more of a facilities manager. The kids in sports have free rein to harass the other kids and have brought back the racism and homophobia of times past. They freely vape and bully with no consequences from Sanford, because it’s really important for them to have 8th graders on Roosevelt High School sports teams. It’s not a privilege reserved for high-performing mature kids- quite the opposite. The teachers here didn’t even hide their disdain for how the school is run- many tried to leave after the 2026 school year, and big congrats to those that found other jobs. The teachers are the only bright spot in this miserable hole of trauma. If you have any other opportunity to attend any other middle school, please do that because this school will ruin your kid.

This school has a great community focus. The Principal was perky and clearly wanted to please every body. Most of the faculty and staff were very friendly and smiley. But when it actually came to teaching the students, there wasn't a high expectation. I didn't feel like my student was being challenged and was often bored. Maybe we have just lucked out and gotten 2 mediocre teachers, but this school is not a good fit for our student. Bottom line, community focused school, not academically focused.
