Lipman Middle School

it was a living nightmare going to school there

Lipman has grown into being a wonderful small school with dedicated staff and a high-quality school culture. This is so important in middle school when kids are trying to sort out who they are. Having a positive, supportive environment where meanness is not tolerated is so important. Before we started at Lipman, I was afraid my daughter wouldn't be challenged enough. But her teachers have done a very good job of meeting her at her learning edge, which is what they try to do with each and every student. She has felt safe and supported at Lipman, and has really enjoyed middle school. I am grateful we have Lipman in our community -- it is a wonderful place for growing curious and kind young adults.

We had an excellent experience at Lipman. The teachers are so experienced, and even the art and music teachers have credentials. At other schools, you see a lot of emergency credentials or art teachers who are not real "teachers."

Lipman is a small middle school with a tight community and fantastic staff and teachers. From an academic standpoint, my son was extremely well prepared for high school. He's pulling straight A's in his freshman year and was able to bypass freshman math completely. The school provided a very well rounded, supportive education, and helped him to excel in the subjects he was least comfortable in (Language arts and writing).
