About the school

The Louis Armstrong Middle School is a borough wide school that offers free stop to stop busing for all students in Queens. We opened in 1979 by a court order to ensure diversity with the mission of bringing together a group of culturally diverse children to help them grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. As required by the court order, the racial identification and home address of applicants will be considered in admissions as well as equity in academic standing. At LAMS students are provided a personalized caring and supportive environment. The staff works to build the principals of STRIVE.Whereas, S stands for Self-Regulation, T- Tenacity, R-Respect, I-Integrity, V- Vision, E-Empathy. At LAMS we believe in a strong standards-based rigorous curriculum to help guide and accelerate our students. We also believe in using standards-based assessments to drive our instruction. In addition to the core subjects, LAMS offers accelerated Regents courses in Algebra, Geometry, Living Environment, Earth Science, and US History. Our English Language Learners program offers full immersion and supports to ensure rigorous instruction while our MLL students work toward language mastery. The school is affiliated with Queens College, Vaughn College, National Middle School Association and National Reform Policy. Our school is an original recipient of the US President Award for Excellence, and has been consistently a Rewards/Recognition status school, and by the NASSP as being one of the top, most effective middle schools in the United States.
