Laguna Middle School is great academically and in athletics. After school program by Recreation…read moreand Parks is really good. It's not a baby sitting program. Your child can get help with school work, enjoy games, and enjoy his peers. Laguna has bee good for our boys.

Hello! I am a concerned single loving 46 year old mother (I'm tight btw) and I have some things I…read morewould like to say about this school. Where do I even begin. If you are considering sending your sweet baby angel to this middle school, I strongly encourage you to instead consider literally any other option. Homeschool. Wilderness survival camp. A monastery. Anything. First of all, the drop-off line? A lawless wasteland. I have seen more organization at a Black Friday sale in 2007. No cones. No guidance. Second, the cafeteria. My son Clayton Mae told me the pizza "bends in ways pizza should not bend." I don't know what that means, but I don't like it. The milk cartons are apparently either frozen solid or suspiciously warm. There is no in-between. Academically? My child came home with homework that required "critical thinking." I'm sorry, since when are thirteen-year-olds expected to have fully formed frontal lobes? Do better. I would also like to formally address the teacher situation. There are kind teachers. There are strict teachers. And then there are teachers at this school who act like my child personally offended them by existing. One in particular seems to believe that smiling is a federal crime. My son asked a clarifying question and was met with a sigh so dramatic I thought we were about to enter a Shakespeare monologue. These kids are thirteen. Not hostile corporate employees. Now let's talk about the principal. I naively assumed that if a student had a concern, there would be, I don't know, listening involved? Silly me. Instead, students are handed "reflection sheets." Reflection sheets. As if filling out a worksheet titled "What Could I Have Done Differently?" magically solves every issue. It's giving "copy and paste discipline system." Zero dialogue. Zero accountability. Just paper. And the science class? Apparently the curriculum is: 1. Walk in. 2. Receive packet. 3. Complete packet. 4. Receive another packet. At this point I'm fairly certain the packets are raising my child. I don't even think the teacher speaks unless it's to say, "It's in the packet." Then there's the wood shop teacher. I'm not saying anything legally actionable. I am simply saying the energy in that room feels less "educational mentor" and more "I learned life lessons exclusively the hard way." The vibe is intense. The motivational speeches sound like parole advice. Overall, the leadership shrugs, the packets multiply, and the mean streaks run unchecked. I did not pack fresh organic apple slices every morning for this level of dysfunction.
