Lost Mountain Middle School

The administration is top notch, the staff is friendly, and the teachers are creative, pro-active, and interested in the individual students. My younger two will be joining my oldest there, and I am so excited to watch them blossom at Due West.

Great for my daughter who is now in 2nd grade

We switched to Ford from a different school to this school, and the difference has been astounding. Our boys are actually happy to go to school now. Their progress has skyrocketed. Sitting in a classroom with other kids who actually want to learn has made them want to learn as well. The people in the front office somehow actually know my name... and my kid's name... and the name of every single kid there it seems. That isn't even really necessary, but the fact that the teachers and staff seem to love these kids and know that they are all a part of something special is obvious. The bottom line to other parents is, if you've got problems with your kids and you're looking for the source of said problems, you'll be wasting your time to point the finger at this school. Try looking inward. :-D

We moved here only 9 months ago and started school with knowing absolutely no one. To say this school welcomed us with open arms is an understatement. The counselors even held a coffee meet and greet for all the new parents to come in and meet each other, along with the Principal and assistant principals. Everyone has been so kind, the teachers and staff LOVE their jobs. The school is clean, safe, and all about inclusivity. We’ve grown so much since we first started, making friends with parents and building our community here. This school is night and day from our old school. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to come here. We hope this helps the next family moving in!

We absolutely love Bullard. The teachers are truly exceptional - caring, dedicated, and invested in each child. They create a nurturing classroom environment while still maintaining high academic standards. My children are excited to go to school every day. The principal is equally impressive and sets a positive tone for the entire school. He is extremely visible, approachable and clearly committed to academic excellence. We are so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful school community and highly recommend it to any family looking for an excellent elementary school.

27 students in 2nd grade, 1 teacher24 students in 4th grade, 1 teacherA LOT of staff has been let go due to the financial position of the school. Their science books insists the Earth is 5000-7000 years old. Too much emphasis on grammar and not enough on quality reading and writing. Extremely test heavy even in early elementary grades. Bullying on all levels has been a consistent problem.
