Lakelands Park Middle School
Lakelands Park Middle School is a public middle school located in Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States. Managed by Montgomery County Public Schools, the school educates over 1,000 students in grades 6-8. The school was named after Lakelands Park, which is adjacent to the school. With its premises used regularly for community events, the school has a high local profile. It is also the most highly ranked middle school in MCPS.[citation needed]
Rose S. Alvarez is the school's principal. She took over from Deborah R. Higdon, who left during the Summer of 2020.
Lakelands Park Middle School was built in 2005 to resolve overcrowding in other schools in the county, as a result of a unique collaborative effort between the Montgomery County Board of Education and superintendent Dr. Jerry Weast, at a cost of $21 million. Lakelands was designed to accommodate up to 1,200 students and is located amongst local housing to enable the students to be able to walk to school. The building is 153,588 square feet (14,268.8 m2), and includes three floors, a full-size gym, auxiliary gyms, two computer labs, and rooms for art, music and technology. The media center has a collection of more than 18,000 print and non-print materials, including books, magazines, videos, DVDs and CD ROMs. The Research Learning Hub includes 32 networked computers.
The school set ambitious academic targets, including 100% of the students reading at or above grade level by the time they leave the school. However, the school was soon placed on the state watch list due to poor results.
Following the decision of the Montgomery County school board to allow cell phones in schools other than high schools, Lakelands was one of four selected to trial this arrangement in August 2007.
In the 2018 annual assessment for Maryland schools, Lakelands Park received four stars out of a possible five as a measurement of overall effectiveness.
After students graduate from 8th grade, the high school they go on to depends on the elementary school they attended. Students move to Quince Orchard High School if they went to Brown Station or Rachel Carson Elementary schools, and those who went to Darnestown Elementary School attend Northwest High School. If students went to Diamond Elementary School, they either attend Quince Orchard High School if their home is south of Great Seneca Highway, or Northwest High School if their home is north of Great Seneca Highway.
Montgomery County Public Schools are pioneering a pilot, in Lakelands Park, for autistic students using the controversial Rapid Prompting Method.
