seventh and eighth-graders, its student body is representative of 
California's diverse culture. But despite the various backgrounds 
represented, each student is expected to contribute to a learning 
environment which demands high expectation. As a result, over 500 
students make the honor roll each semester.
  The teachers and staff of this school are committed to giving 
``whatever it takes'' to meet the needs of their students. This goal 
frequently requires involving the parents and community in school 
activities.
  This combination of high expectations for students, committed 
teachers and staff, and parental involvement has made Carl H. Lorbeer 
Middle School one of America's Blue Ribbon Schools.
