Laurel has an incredible new leadership team that is doing wonderful things on campus. They have dedicated staff and teachers who create an inclusive environment for learning. There are many services available to students due to the community schools program at this site.

The majority of the staff truly care about the students and prioritize their well-being. It’s important to remember that some students face difficult circumstances at home, including trauma beyond their control, which can sometimes manifest as challenging behavior — but this only represents a small portion of the student body.As a parent, your role is to stay involved: ask questions, monitor ALL social media, and support your child’s education. This is essential no matter what school your child attends.Lincoln Middle School is full of school spirit, positive energy, and a community that genuinely wants the best for its students.

This school is horrible for individuals with disabilities. On the first day of school, the elevator was broken--staff insisted a student with a physical disability to use the stairs, which is an ADA violation. Academically, staff do not follow students' IEPs or needs, so parents must monitor closely to prevent mistreatment. Communication is poor, it takes a long time to get a response from staff via email or phone. If you have a student with an IEP, consider taking them elsewhere. If not, ensure their services are implemented at this school. Students with physical disabilities or learning challenges may require alternative options, such as out-of-district placement with transportation at the districts expense. To substantiate your claims, gather supporting evidence. If your request is denied, make sure it's in writing. You may need to file for due process with a special education attorney. Overall, the lack of support for students with disabilities and IEPs is a significant concern at this school.
