As a former student, I feel that this school is very far behind what it should be. I transfered here from another school, and ended up being taught stuff that I had been taught two years prior at my other school.

As a former student and employee, I feel the overall teacher quality is poor. It's more political than what is best for the students. A lot of the teachers are 'out to get' their administrators and they don't consider what is right for the students. It's a 'me' school and not a student school. The board

Not enough people stand up for what they believe in. It will only take a few to stand up and voice opinions at board meetings. Show them your voice, let them know students come first! Read less

As a former student I feel that this school is extremely poor when it comes to quality of education. Many students in recent years have been transfering to better schools in order to even have a shot at getting into a high quality university. With the exception of a few great teachers, the majority
... Read more of the others treat their job as a social event with other staff where their interests are put way ahead of the interests of the students. Under no circumstances would I ever enroll my children in this school system. Due to knowing individuals within the school system I know that the quality of the education along with the athletics and other activities are steadily declining. This school system is a classic example of individuals thinking of themselves instead of the future of our children. Give your child a better future, don't send them to this school. Read less

I don't think very highly at all of this particular school district. I have four children who attend Lakeview schools. I don't think the teaching quality is consistent. With 2 sons in the same grade we have experienced good teachers and poor teachers for the exact same course. My husband is extremely
... Read more disappointed with the sports program. I do not agree with where the district spends their money - priority wise. The new athletic field was obviously not budgeted properly, classes had to be dropped or eliminated last year. Children should be educated at school. I would much rather see a pay to play sports program, rather than cut back on educational opportunities for our children. After all, how many of them grow up to be professional sports pros versus successful working people of our community. Read less
