I personally enjoy attending Lee County Middle School. Most of the teachers are nice, I get challenged a lot, and I don't dread going to school in the mornings when I wake up. One thing I don't like about it is that the school system is a little sports-based, and even though everyone should be well-rounded, everything seems to be about the sports at this school.
