My son is in seventh grade at this school. I have another son who already completed middle school there. While neither was as intellectually challenged as I would have liked, they, overall, had good teachers and a few outstanding ones who engaged them in significant ways. No doubt that middle school years are tough so sometimes support, good humor, or patience is as important from a teacher as intellectual rigor is. The school is also diverse in many ways and I appreciate the way that the school manages seamlessly, or apparently so, all of that diversity. Life lessons at Robinson have been priceless. Both boys are also musicians and athletes, and as athletes they have had great mentors/coaches. My oldest son is now in a complete honors curriculum at Topeka High. He did not think he was any less prepared for that than his classmates who went to private schools. I do not question the decision to send both sons to Robinson for a moment.

Lowman Hill is a wonderful school, that is filled with diversity and many opportunities for learning. Topeka Public Schools is providing training for teachers to learn about engaging students in meaningful discussions while they are learning. The Lowman Hill teachers will be implementing this as they return back to school this fall. Everyone loves that Lowman Hill is small enough that many teachers know all of the student's names.

School is bad, the food is trash, very unhealthy, impossible to eat, I and my friend have gotten diarrhea after eating there, I don't like this school, people don't like me, although I'm always trying to be positive to everyone and everything, half of my teachers don't even know what they teaching, a stupid and awful system of education. The worst and most disgusting situation is that the school now has cockroaches. Haha, I don't even know what to think about it all, that's awful. Probably now because of the last situation, I have no choice, but to change my school.
