I attended this school and feel ashamed and embarrassed to say I attended here

Our experience at Lunsford MS has been excellent. My son came here on special permission after having a very difficult 6th grade year at his assigned school. We did not know about "special permission" or we would have applied sooner. The teachers are all very organized and go above and beyond to help all students to be successful in their learning. The main office is always helpful if I have needed anything and are friendly and smile when you come in. I have 3 children that are or have been in LCPS and this is not always the case. From the moment you walk in, you feel a sense of happiness in the school. I also substitute teach here and it truly is a great place to be! The principals, deans, and counselors all work together to make this school the best place to learn and have fun! The custodians are also very friendly and keep hand sanitizer filled in the classrooms and the school clean and sanitized at the end of the week. My son is extremely happy here and I only wish the Freedom HS was not looking to be at capacity again. Now, he may have to be confronted by the bullies that he left from.

This is truly a wonderful school. The care and dedication of the teachers and staff shine through in everything they do. Some of the most exceptional educators I’ve ever encountered are here. While I can’t speak for every classroom, my children have been incredibly fortunate to learn from teachers like Ms. Pitzen, Ms. Mixter, Ms. Bennett, Ms. Capayachi, Ms. Kimball, and Ms. Esposito... each one outstanding in their own way.Even after a full day of teaching, these educators continue to show up for their students during extracurricular activities, whether it be a soccer tournament, taekwondo belt ceremony, robotics competition, ensuring every child feels seen and supported. And they do all this while balancing families of their own. That’s not just dedication, that’s love.The office staff have always been warm, welcoming, and open, like an open book to me. They genuinely value family and community involvement and work hard to highlight the school’s strengths and unique character to the broader public.The principal is a remarkable leader and human being. Despite the many responsibilities she carries (both as a mom and as the head of the school) she makes a conscious effort to be present in the lives of the students. She’s not just supervising staff; she’s connecting with her scholars (as she calls them). Her presence and commitment make a real and lasting impact on the school’s culture.
