My review is based on the cleanliness and beautification of this school and I do not know anyone…read morewho attends and/or works at this school. Overall, I came here for my daughter's Volleyball game and it is a beautiful school with a small gym but very clean. I like how there was also a food truck there as well. The only reason why I did not give it a 5 star is because the parking stalls are a bit compact (and being that I am originally from Hawaii, we have compact stalls there) and someone scratched my car when they opened their door.

Not the worst, but far from what it should be…read more I'll be honest--I wanted to love this place. At first glance, it checks some important boxes: clean buildings, a decent variety of after-school programs, and a lot of buzz about being "one of the better schools" in the area. But after spending real time here, that reputation doesn't hold up under closer inspection. The good stuff? Sure, it's there. The campus is well-kept and looks great, and my kids have genuinely enjoyed a few of the clubs they've tried. I'll also say that some of the teachers are passionate and communicative. You can tell they care. But unfortunately, the strong ones feel outnumbered by the ones who seem to have checked out. And that's where things start to unravel. Too often, we've seen teachers point fingers at students or parents instead of taking ownership when something clearly goes wrong in the classroom. That mindset makes it hard to trust the process. Meanwhile, the people running the show? It feels like their main goal is image control. Even when serious concerns are raised, the focus shifts to silencing criticism instead of solving problems. Don't even get me started on the pickup line. It's pure chaos. Traffic spills into the streets, everyone's blocking everyone else, and there's no system in place to fix it. You'll spend 30+ minutes in your car daily, just hoping no one gets into an accident. As for academics, it's hit or miss. In some cases, the material seems to come straight from pre-made internet templates--no adaptation, no passion, and sometimes, no clear understanding of the topic from the person teaching it. Honestly, I've found better explanations on YouTube. Other things worth noting: There have been situations involving extremely unprofessional conduct between staff members--yes, during the school day. I've also seen confidential student information passed around carelessly, which is incredibly upsetting for any parent. And the school's reaction to these concerns? Defensive. Instead of addressing the issue, they turned their attention to the parent who spoke up, even threatening to revoke their campus access. That says a lot about their priorities. Bottom line: There are bright spots here, but they're clouded by serious problems in leadership, culture, and accountability. If you're considering this school, go in with your eyes wide open. It might look good on paper, but reality paints a more complicated picture.

Another current student here...It's an alright school. Teachers I have mixed feelings about,…read morestudents are ok, but they really need to do some background checks on the people coming into these schools, students, staff alike. School sometimes listens to requests, but overall, it's not the greatest to go to school at. Have experienced some bullying, as well as racism. 2 stars.

Lied Middle School demonstrated a complete failure of leadership and accountability…read more I raised serious concerns regarding my child and received no response whatsoever from the principal. Not acknowledgment. Not follow-up. Not even the courtesy of a reply. When school leadership chooses silence over action, it sends a clear message about priorities. Because the principal failed to respond, I was forced to escalate the matter to the superintendent, a step that should never be required for a parent advocating for their child. The lack of communication, urgency, and responsibility shown in this situation reflects a broader problem with administrative leadership. Parents should be deeply concerned about how issues are handled when they arise and whether school leadership is willing to do its job. This experience was disappointing, alarming, and entirely avoidable.

This is the worst school ever. My daughter has been bullied for a while now and the school did…read morenothing to protect my child. Instead of hearing what my daughter had to say they asked the bullier and his friend if my daughter was the bully. My daughter is super sweet she has never gotten into trouble. My child does not want to go this school anymore. They say they are against bullies but in truth they really don't give 2 shits. My child has told me that she does not feel safe and refused to go to school this week. She has told her teacher which he has made her switch tables to get away from the kid. He has been bullying my child and making rude remarks due to her birthmark on her forehead stating did your mom drop you on your face when you were a baby or did she hit you with the frying pan. We have tried to have a one on one with the school but they refused. They talked to my child without a parent present, she felt as if they were retaliated her for being honest. They would not take my child's statement that she has done nothing wrong. They asked the bullies friend and of course being a friend is going to stick up for them. They didn't even talk to her teacher about this, my child has developed anxiety due to this torment and how they treat her. This is by far the worst school to send your child to. They are not there for the kids that are getting picked on. Don't send your child to this school if you care for their safety. My daughter does not feel safe at all with this school. We are removing her and will enroll her to a better school where the teachers actually give a damn. If I could I would not rate this school at all!!!!!
