We moved our kid from Topeka to SWMS in sixth grade. This was one of the best decisions we ever did! The teachers are really great. My kid has great interest in Math. Seeing his level, the teacher recommended to move him two grades up in Math. Also, they participate in many Math competitions and help kids to practice in Math Club.

My.child has thrived at every school they have ever attended, every school except Lawrence Free State High School. Teachers are regulars checked out and inattentive to my child's needs. Be Better Free State!

Both my children attended here K through 5. They were challenged and well supported throughout their school experience. The principal is so personable and all the kids know her. The teachers use technology in creative ways. The staff works together and strives to put the students’ needs first. The majority of the teachers are frequently working before and after hours on their own time to ensure they deliver quality lessons. Parents are encouraged and expected to be participants in their child’s education. This is far different than the implication that parents have to do the teaching. I feel it is fair and appropriate that I practice reading with my child, practice math facts, or help with homework. I personally call it being a parent. I’ve never seen a school and staff that is perfect in every way. However, they do Set the bar high and I appreciated it.
