I love London it is very good, the teachers are usually nice and theyre funny and can connect with students. I made good friends that I didnt have in elementary. The education is ok and its not too hard. Theres a fair amount of homework. But overall I personally love going to London. Some students might be rude but I dont interact with them. Its not the most clean or funded school but its good either way.

honestly it makes no sense on how the dress code works. it refers to how women cant wear crop tops or tank tops with spaghetti straps. we cant control weather to get cooler how are we suppose to keep cool when its over 70+ degrees and we have to "cover up"??? how is a pair of shoulders or a belly button going to affect to way we learn as a group. we want to strive to be equal but how can we be able to be equal if were treated so differently.

Our daughter was so nervous to start Middle School but with the love & support of her teachers & coaches - she grew to love it. She was sad to say good-bye after 3 years. She is, now, in her 3rd year of H.S. and doing extremely well.

Students are encouraged to communicate with their teachers through their Chromebooks - on HW assignments, projects, etc. Teachers are very good about replying to the students & this is a win-win.
Posted: January 9, 2020
Teachers share similar likes & dislikes with the students. This allows for a more personal & friendly relationship. The students see the teachers as their academic coach & encouraged to reach for the stars.
Posted: January 9, 2020
By making a connection with the teachers and administrators - the students demonstrate integrity, compassion & respect for themselves, the school and all of the adults.

Every great school has a great leader. The Principal & Assistant Principal are actively involved with the students during the day & at the after school activities. They are always there to support the students.

There are teams of teachers that will meet with parents & students to address & provide the best form of education for any child that has learning differences. Our daughter has ADHD and there were many accommodations offered - extra testing time, seating preference, extended HW time, extra reading support, etc.

The Dean works very closely with the Principal - in providing a safe environment for everyone. Bullying is taken very seriously and is not tolerated. This includes cyberbullying. All matters are addressed individually.
