L&N STEM Academy is a unique experience academically, socially, and with the extra-curricular activities that are offered as compared to other Knox County schools. The campus is very unique as it is in a beautiful historic building and in downtown Knoxville. There are some amazing teachers, admin, and staff at this school. We have had both ups and downs with the school (both in dealing with administration and with teachers), but overall have been very pleased with the education and experiences that our children have had at L&N. The extra-curricular activities include a rowing team, Ultimate frisbee, bowling, rock climbing and more traditional sports such as tennis, swimming, and cross country. There are also academic clubs/activities such as NHS, NAHS, Quiz Bowl, Science Olympiad, and Model UN. Wouldn't have sent my kids any where else.
I'm just so incredibly grateful to get the opportunity to go STEM! It has been an amazing experience. The student body is very supportive and accepting, and I don't know how people are saying its not diverse, because I feel that its a very diverse student body. Also, the teachers are amazing, and challenge you to push to the best of your abilities. Also, most are very lenient with deadlines, and very understanding of a student's situation. I love that I can choose classes to be with my friends, or with certain teachers, because the school is small, and you are able to do things like that. I also love that we can walk downtown after school! There are just so many good things about stem, and I am proud to be there. I reccomend it to anyone who is willing to put the work in, and break a few windows while doing it!
As a Sophomore about to hit Junior year--and all while Covid-19 surges across the world--I can say without a doubt L&N has been the best place to go. While the workload is certainly a deterrent for some, the teachers and staff are and always have been willing to help. Thanks to the open environment I've better learned to understand myself, and get to hone in on my talents and interests. Would recommend anyone to come and join us, though only if the student wishes. Coming to L&N is a choice kids should make on their own, and thus for the parents out their, always talk to them first before sending them here or any other STEM/Magnet school. I have heard a few tales of kids FORCED into Stem, and nobody prospers in a place you don't want to be.
