I love michele Clark . The teachers will make sure you get your education. The counselors will make sure you need everything in order to graduate. They also got us situated for our first year of college.

2/14/2013
It may be a nice building, but a very dangerous and disgusting school. The students are out of control! No parent involvement and the LSC is a joke. Go somewhere else for an education.

A total joke of a school. Students are completely direspectful! Bad neighborhood. LSC is a waste of time. They do not know what they are doing. Find a better school. I took my children out!
