I love my school. The outside may look ugly and dirty but the teachers there do a great job. I'm in the band program and were one of the best in the county. every year we come home with no lower than 3rd place. Great School!

I was recently a student from Matthew Henson Middle School, I promoted to the 9th grade attending Henry E Lackey. I can tell you there are a lot of problems regarding this school, fight, drug use, and much much more. Yes, there are some good people within the Staff of Henson, but overall this school...

My daughter loves the teachers and the whole school environment. The staff is really trying their best to stay engaged with families. I approve this school.

Extremely bad experience from bullying to fights on regular bases. Didn’t seem as organized at all kids all over the place. Some staff members showed lack of experience and professionalism like the six grade administrator interim.
