American Lakes is a school I've been attending since the fourth grade. I'd say that it's not the best school, but for the most part that's no fault of its own. The children at this school are simply uncontrollable, which takes away from the learning of others. On top of that, the children underperform, and it makes my above grade level test scores look like the work of a genius in comparison. There are some pros, though. It is a very diverse school, and despite the problematic jokes made in bad taste, I think this school has taught me to be respectful of other cultures better than anything. The teachers are great (shoutout to the middle school staff, 6th grade's Mr. Smith, and 4th grade's Mrs. Westbrook), and they have good support for mental health and emotional well-being. As an elementary school, American Lakes is great. As a middle school, however, American Lakes is intolerable. The ill-behaved students combined with the lack of classes makes the middle school experience a disaster. Not to mention the fact that the people in charge are so busy handling kids they seem to neglect the middle school all together.I think it's a decent school to send your kids to, especially if you don’t really have another option, but get them in somewhere else once they hit 7th grade.

The administration allows for the indoctrination of your children to anti-American Marxism.
