Hi I'm a middle school, student and I will like to show my experience in longsjo middle school. there is cockroaches, rats, and bugs . toilets aren't cleaned regularly , and the food is okay. as in the teachers there is only like a few good teachers. the math class is so annoying because the teacher doesnt even teach you and just expects you to know everything with only a video and notes. and then the teacher leaves 3 days comes back gives us a test and leaves again. dont send your kids here its really bad school.

Im a student here on 6th grade grey team, yeah there is teams just so you know and its nice here I'm in band but now I stay there after school for band because my old band teacher got so sick he quit, and I don't like being after school and also my classmates swear and they fight and throw stuff, the food here is good but there's always at least something the lunch lady's serve twice a week and I am getting tired of it and my math teacher always thinks I'm playing games when I'm just checking my scores or my Aspen, also the school is very old like very and the gym roof is falling apart and the elevator always is broken, its a good school and I love it but I think things should improve. please spread this message
