Lynden Middle School

LC is an absolutely excellent school, with caring teachers, thoughtful leadership, and proactively engaged parents and community. LC is legendary in this area, and Lynden is a great place to move to, in fact, if you're in need of an upgrade in the education experience. The only drawback is that it isn't overly academic, but takes a fairly balanced approach, throwing in a mix of sports, music/drama and other programs, instead of pursuit of major academic perfection. If you're looking for a considerably above average education for your kids, with a heavy dose of sports and lifelong friendships, along with generous community support, this is a throwback school that takes care of the hearts of its kids. Feels like a 50s era place, with modern tools and technology, in the best sense. Traditional, visionary, and focused most on creating a beautiful balance of the school/life experience. They really do consider nurturing the heart and soul an essential part of the successful journey for kids here!
