Leland Stanford Middle School

Great school ! They really emphasize college and higher learning at Stanford, since CSULB is so close. Stanford sets the foundation to incoming middle schoolers that college is the goal. The staff and teachers all really care about the students and are on top of communication with the use of school loop. Everyday I can login to school loop and see my sons progress and assignments and can send teachers emails if I have any questions or comments. For the most part, all the teachers have been very prompt on response time and detailed with any questions or concerns I had.
The school is always clean, and very well maintained. The overall California API test scores are always above the district average, and they take pride in the type of students the school produces. They offer accelerated math and science programs for gifted students, and many electives that are geared towards the arts or technology.
I have been very impressed with the education my son has been receiving, and the motivation he has to do well in his classes. I believe this is due to the supportive and encouraging staff. I would advise any parent to consider Stanford as positive stepping stone to developing solid learning skills and as one of the best for public education within LBUSD.
