My wife and I are happy with Lowell Scott for our kids. They are doing well academically and have met a nice group of kids there. Administration has been helpful and teachers are great. The only negative is that the buildings are very old and seem to need work and updating.

The administration would have a lot less violations to worry about if they weren't so strict. They stand at the end of the hall every day at break and pull people aside to cite.
