Work of art. I was enrolled is SMS for the beginning of 25’-26 school year. For reference, I’ve lived in Highlands County for about 8years. The school in general (except LPES, PES, LPMS, and LPHS) are good. The school is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I love the bushes and Big tree in the middle of campus. The people are over civilized and maintained moderately well. They might be a little annoying at times though. The staff team is good. Thought some teachers are tough. But the lunch OMG it’s immaculate. The (lunch) staff are REALLY strict and a pain but over all good. The library had bean bags, and couches and smells pleasant. tThey give out takis, and other food as rewards. I didn’t get to read any good book before I moved because I had to pay for a book I lost SIX YEARS AGO. Like what???? But the E-Hall pass is ok. I don’t like the different little lights colored bathroom things. This schools a little unique, because of its old age, built around the 1920-50s’ it had an auditorium. They did demolish the old chorus room a long time ago for room but overall. AWESOME. They have a handful of activities, groups, and electives to choose from.

This school is absolutely disgusting. I enrolled my children based off of googles 4.8 star rating. However your not allowed to review them as they have it turned off and all the positive are reviews from elementary aged school children the lady at the front desk is beyond rude and unhelpful Literally have to sit there for an extremely long time before she even starts the task she’s provided with. Rude and unhelpful Literally helpful and they just push all the kids through instead of giving them the learning experience that children need. Do not send your kid here unless you have absolutely no choice. My kids will be going k12 next year

Overall, not the worst school in the world but there's *alot* of improving they need to do. -Sincerely, a graduated senior
