LMS Literacy in Action

The Lawrence Middle School (LMS) definition of student achievement includes academic success, social and emotional growth, student responsibility for learning and behavior that benefits a positive school environment, and the ability to use critical thinking to solve real life situations. Our teachers and staff offer a developmentally responsive program that addresses the unique characteristics of students in early adolescence. Critical to the success of our students are concerned parents, a supportive community, and our dedicated staff members who are sensitive to the special needs of preadolescent youth from diverse ethnic, socio-economic, and academic backgrounds.
