have two kids here at this school. teachers are very caring and supportive of their students. management and principal and overall the entire staff are just great. highly reccommended.

I wouldn’t recommend my child go here. The school gives no support for students. They constantly say they have way too many to keep track of. The guidance counselor will recommend a child get a GED then to graduate.

When considering a school it's important to remember that an productive and effective educational experience for a student is a community effort and requires a strong partnership between school teachers, staff and parents. Entering Middle School is one of the most challenging times for a child. The lessons and skills they learn during these formative years will inform a lot of their educational futures. Not every teacher will make an immediate connection with your student. But every teacher has something your child needs to learn. At LEMS I have found genuinely caring and committed educators and staff. We are a community school which means that parents, staff, students and community partners contribute to the goals, experiences, opportunities and education of LEMS students. The school partners with the East Branch Library, the Owen Brown Community Association and many others to address needs, carry out events and provide engaging events for students. The school has a very strong after school program, which includes theater, art and will soon launch sports. LEMS also has a strong Gifted and Talented program which includes GT core courses and seminars. A newly inaugurated Young Leaders Advisory Board (YLAB) offers students an opportunity to gain leadership skills, contribute to and advance school goals, lead events and communicate the perspectives of the student body. LEMS is striving, growing and full of talented and dedicated students, educators, staff, parents and community partners.
