The overall morale at this school is excellent. It is obvious that the teachers like being here, and student behavior reflects this. My child loves going to school everyday. However, there are so many resources that are not being utilized. The math curriculum is great, but could be implemented in a much more engaging way. Technology, smart board games, and hands on activities are available for "Go Math", but they are nowhere to be found. I'm not sure if LPS is underfunded, or if they simply do not know about these resources. Common Core rules the classroom, and social studies and science SUFFER!! I have been left to teach my child about states, presidents, world geography, states of matter, and plants at home. So sad. Kids can only do math for so long in a day before they're burnt out. Overall, I love this school, and I understand that teachers are doing all they can with the resources they have. Ultimately, any downfalls are a result of district administrative inadequacies.

This school has a bullying problem that is not being addressed. The administration blatantly ignores the laws regulating IEP. Everyone I’ve talked to has not been able to resolve conflict at the school ever. The community needs to provide an alternative so that families can live in Laurel peacefully.

This school is underfunded but the faculty sincerely try to make do. The current administration (principal, superintendent, etc) seem to not understand how a school should be run. However, a student can thrive and make it out of there to pursue an education, should they not drop out prior to graduating.
