Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School

My child is on his second year at IBL! Let me just say the staff is top notch and are extremely engaged in the students. The bonus is they have fun! We’ve been in multiple schools and I’ve never seen all the staff treat one another like family the way they do. We had an issue awhile back with bullying and I was extremely disappointed in the way it was handled which seems like an ongoing issue here. If your child isn’t bullied this is a perfect school. I feel my child is going to be well prepped for High School. Lastly, unlike the other schools in PSD you won’t find any details on PTO and meetings. Definitely room for improvement there.

how does one rate a school where bullying substitute teachers is acceptable? in my opinion, the admin is a disgusting composite of ignorant okies. putting diamonds on a pig does not make him pretty.

This is an excellent middle school that has prepared my oldest child for the rigors of high school. She has seamlessly transitioned and thriving in high school due her experience at IBL. My son is currently attending IBL and is having the same experience. They are both very different in personality, but both enjoy Ingrid B. Lacy Middle School.

Although the school district, pressured by K-8 parents, forced IBL to eliminate advanced courses so the K-8's could maintain "parity," IBL provides an overall better and more age-appropriate experience for grades 6-8 than the smaller environment K-8's. IBL's extremely dedicated and experienced teachers are truly excellent and work tirelessly to challenge students and provide an education academically equal to some private schools. Our only regrets after several years are that the current principal should require all teachers to keep the online parent portal updated with homework and grades, and ensure an equal amount of homework required by all teachers (one new teacher assigns too much every night.)
