Billy Lane Lauffer Middle School
I had such great hopes for this school, the picture I got when we looked was great. But the leadership of this school is not what I want my child to see as ok. There are some great teachers here, but there are also several teachers and staff that bully the kids. THe schools is very unorganized. The High school that has over 2,500 students is ran way better than this middle school.
