  • Our academic teams have placed a significant emphasis on student voice. It is evident in classes across the building. LMS, along with all 10 Meadowcreek Cluster Schools, is utilizing the Instructional Conversations strategy to promote student voice.

Despite the long and sometimes overwhelming evaluation sheet, every student scored above 75%!"
