As a parent, I have had the worse year with this school. Admin is a joke . God forbid if you have a child with a disability they are on their own here. If you want a school administration that acts if they care then this is your school.

Military families, consider yourself warned. Stay away from West Lee, this has to be the most unsupportive school towards military and their children. They simply don't care here.

This school is very bad. I think it is the worst of all LCS middle schools. I feel like it is unclean and students can do whatever they want in the halls, classrooms, bathrooms and classrooms. The teachers don't care what the students do or say.
