John H. Liechty Middle School

If a parent gets to read this. Please don't send your child here. Yes it can be close to where you live. But here in this PUBLIC school is a no. The amount of kids leaving this school tells so much how bad this school is, not even to apply.. The school systems here is RIDICULOUS. Wasting so much money for the uniforms just to know pe clothes have to be necessary. Student here even complain that the teachers get mad at you if u don't bring your pe clothes. Not only that but students don't even understand what the teachers are saying. So is the teachers too. Having friends here isn't easy I see tons of kids eating ALONE at lunch is crazy and I feel bad. One last thing most these students fail because how wouldn't they fail if all the teachers say let do some notes. Better off teaching instead of having of the fingers hurt and expecting us to do testing next day. They get paid to do their work not to take a rest by making us write. Take a hold for writing and do your actual work. I almost forgot this school need a new staff members to work here .. everyday they always have an attitude towards us. Which I personally do not like. Especially since I'm trying to go to class. For the students change the time for us to leave school I'm tired of it. Let us go to the restroom and not complain saying, you just came from lunch. Like a student cannot control their body when not to go to the restroom and let ur picky favorites get out. Thanks for reading if u did ...

I myself went to this school back in 2007-2008, it was amazing many wonderful teachers! but many have left already.. This school has turn HORRIBLE!! My sister (A average) was attending this school, but we had to take her out because the school cause my family the BIGGEST problem! I wont forgive this school! Police officers arent what you thing, trust me. Personal experience.

Its IPA score is still a number 2... Parents need to be involved A LOT more for this schools score to move up. Its super far from being a good school, parents first would need to be involved and parents in this community DO NOT like to be involved in there children's academic life. It has potential like all other school but that is all it has Potential.

JLMS is a wonderful school, and has the greatest kids in the world attending it. Ever since it opened 6 years ago, it has dramatically improved academically, thanks to the selfless dedication of its incredible staff. It is true that it went through a major restructuring a few years ago, but that was necessary due to budget cuts and its large number of inexperienced teachers. Today it is a model school at the forefront of educational reform.

If it wasn't for the Dean and the Campus Police this school would be a DISASTER! They need a Principal with strong leaderships skills. Someone who can implement a system that works. Someone who will take initiative and do some research to see how other schools get things done. I feel very bad for everyone who works under this leadership because they seem to be overworked. The Principle blames the problems on Socio economic issues. Gertz Ressler is down the street and it's one of the best schools in Los Angeles County.
