We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a middle schooler Ingrid B. Lacy was the perfect school to prepare children for high school. The curriculum was challenging but in a way that made me want to work harder so that I could understand it. The teachers were extremely supportive and it was evident that they wanted all of their students to succeed. The only fault I have with the school is that so many teachers left and were replaced by newer once every year so it was difficult to form long term relationships with these teachers.
