School Reviews

This school places too many resources within sports while neglecting efficient education. Most of the teachers double as coaches, who prioritize physical ability over mental ability.

This school has been an absolute blessing to our son. His self esteem has improved significantly since placing him at Lakeside and the bullying and 'drama'tizing he endured at a nearby school have ceased and I have been assured the administration at LHS has a zero tolerance policy towards bullying. We were also impressed with the facilities, the availability of self esteem promoting activities as well as with the athletics programs and parental involvement in the booster clubs we so enjoy. Again, we have been truly blessed by this school in the life of our son.
