Lakeland-Copper Beech Middle School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-12-05 “I have read most of the comments on this page and to the people who say that this school is bad, I highly disagree. The schedule is actually very good. The 'teams' for each grade level provide less work for the teachers and more order. Even if you aren't on the same team as your friends, there is a high chance that you will have lunch, i-core or another non-team based class with them. The teachers don't give a lot of homework and they usually give 5 or so minutes at the end of class to start it. Most of the time I'm done before I get home. If your child is failing it is because they don't apply himself/herself. The school isn't that big and after a few days, you get the hang of d location of classes. One problem is that the day is from 9:15 to 4:35.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2008-09-24 “These parents don't know crap kids always exaggerate things to make everything seem horrible. I do it too I am in 8th grade. The homework is only about 1 to 2 hours at max. Its true that sometimes there is a lot of homework but its always manageable. The school isn't that big, you can't be lost. Every grade has its own section in the school. All the student reviews are good because they get to experience the school first hand. The schedule is a bight confusing but only your first year. You always get a second chance at homework getting half credit. I get home at 4:10 everyday and I live 20 minutes away from the school in Cortlandt Manor, the school is in Yorktown. 80% for the teachers are good and take time out of their schedule to explain things before and after school almost everyday.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-05-28 “Our family recently moved to Yorktown Heights and my daughter went to a very small catholic school up until 5th grade. I was afraid at first because of the size of this middle school but she loves it, she is doing great and her grades have not changed from her 90+ average.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-11-03 “I am a student in 6th grade- and I love the school. Yes, it's a bit big, but for the amount of students there are here, We need it. I am in my third month here, and I have figured out where everything is. The teachers are awesome, lunches are good, and you can choose from a variety of after school activities. its a great school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-10-27 “All three of my children attended LCBMS. Overall, it's just OK. The school is so large that it seems to be difficult to manage. The schedule is extremely confusing, the day very long, and the rules governing homework unforgiving. Since there are so many students here, the rules are enforced without any leeway. Late homework is a zero and no credit is given for turning it in after the due date, so there's no incentive to do work at all if you cannot get it in on time. The homework load is brutal, 3-4 hours at a minimum, and this is with arriving home after 4:30 pm. This middle school was not a happy experience for my children, more like something to be endured, thank goodness high school has been wonderful.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2007-08-06 “It may not be the school's fault, but the reality is that middle school should be thrown out. It is a bad time and it is horrible for everyone. The school is too large for 11-13 year olds and it is divided by 'teams' so that if you don't like your team, your year will be extra worse. Most of the teachers are not very good and they don't let you explore advancedment like they do at Lakeland High School. They have few honors classes and no Pre-AP or AP classes. It is not a great school. I reccomend finding a K-8” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-06-27 “Academically, the school seems to be doing fine. One problem is that the school is so big, that the kids seem to have a field day in the halls between classes - there seems to be no order in the halls - causing a big distraction for children who need more structure. The school offers help for students that are struggling - however, many students struggle with organization and there is no help in that arena. Therefore, a smart student can have their grades brought down simply becuase they are unprepared for class. This seems unfair. If it's a common problem - there should be help offered for them too. Teachers need to be sensitive to this problem instead of just scoring a zero for that child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-01-10 “This school is grossly mismanaged. The reason is there are 1,600 students and it is overwhelming to the administration. The potential is there, they just need the right administration and teachers in the right positions. The sports programs are mediocre. Level of parent involvement seems to be ok. I would consider parochial or private school before sending my child here.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 2 2006-12-02 “There are good prograns for severe and average above average but none for the under achiever. Too much responsibility is placed on responsiblity without regard to the learning style of the student. School personnel are so quick to judge these kids that they do not take the feelings and other things into consideration without regard for the student.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-09-02 “Academic programs are excellent. There are many dedicated and hard working teachers. There are a variety of activities for students to participate in. The only negative is the school hours. School starts at 9:35 and ends at 3:40. This makes it difficult for dstudents participating in activities to get home at a decent hour. There is a great PTA at this school, and they are very generous to the school and the teachers. There is a new principal this year, so I cannot rate her.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2005-02-19 “LCBMS has become one of the best middle schools in the area. The Principal has made very positive changes and scores prove that the changes are working. The staff is well-trained, responsible and professional and respectfully support the students in every way possible.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2004-02-09 “Seeing that this is the only middle school in the Lakeland school district, it doesn't leave parents with a lot of choices. While some teachers give of themselves, a lot of them give the appearance of not caring for the students.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 1 2003-09-09 “This school is horrible. My son failed 2 subjects in 7th grade and 5 subjects in 8th grade and they have promoted him without any extra help or summer school. Both myself and my sons father wrote a letter the Lakeland board of ed to hold him back and they ignored our request. May I add that my son is a special education student.”
