"An amazing school that beats out most of the highest performing public and private schools.
Diverse student body with kids from every social, economic, ethnic and religious background.
Teachers and staff care about every student. Parents are involved in all aspects of the school through volunteering and helping in the classrooms.
  
The lottery admission is straight-forward and open to anyone. If you're looking for a top-notch school, but can't afford the outlandish cost of private schools, definitely consider LCS."              -David K.
