I really don't like this school at all! I have been going there since 6th grade and i am now an 8th grader. The principal makes ridiculous rules. Also the kids are very mean and they swear ALOT!!! If you are looking for a school for your child to attend to DON'T attend LMMS! (La Mesa Middle School)
The band and orchestra are incredible and we are so lucky to have an excellent music program. Mr. Dyke the music director teaches students from local elementary schools how to play the recorder in 4th grade. In 5th grade they choose a band or orchestra instrument. Most of the kids wind up going to La Mesa Middle and joining the band or orchestra. He teaches 4 bands and an orchestra, and the quality is top notch. Most of the students go to Helix High School and move on to a tradition of another high quality music program. We are very fortunate here at La Mesa Middle School, we are also the only middle school in Spring/Valley School District with an orchestra.
I used to attend La Mesa Middle and the teachers are fantastic. They really involve themselves with students education wise. The school overall Im afraid is far below the teachers. In other words its below average. The principal Beth Thomas creates an environment where the students are not permitted to have fun or 'be kids' the right way. Before Thomas became the principal there was many fun organized events that got the students involved and had tons of fun at school but now there is poorly planned events that rarely take place because fundraising is too much of an hassle. For an example spirit assembles were something that the entire school looked forward to but now it is dreaded. If you want your child to enjoy their middle school experience like every child deserves then i strongly recommend not sending them to La Mesa Middle School.
The principal, Beth Thomas, is responsive, professional and warm. My child really likes his teachers and is learning so much. He used to go to a private school and this is far better.
