this school is so-so at best. The main concern of the staff is how much they get paid and when they're getting off work. Don't send your children there if you have a choice.

It seems as long as the students fall into the higher end or need special assistant, the school does well by these students. From what I understand its the ones in the middle that get lost. Also the athletic Dept. needs some fine tuning. Talented players are catered to while the others who could contribute

Althletic participation is a privelege but when a large part of per student funding goes to that dept. shouldn't the greatest amount of participants be allowed to join. Be honest with our young people, don't play games with their heads and emotions. Some students would do anything to be on a H.S.team. There has to be a way to change things! (especially when you are cutting only 2 or 3 players per sport. Read less

As a former student at Lakeland Regional Highschool, I think that the previous remarks made by that 'concerned parent' are absolutely absurd.

Besides providing many athletic and musical extra cirricular activities, there is a wide variety of other activites geared towards leadership training and community service. These include L.E.A.P. (Leaders Enouraging Adolescent Progresss), S.W.A.P (Speak With A Peer), as well as oppurtunities to hold office on Student or Class Council. The school paper is also an award winning program and in 2003 the Lancer Ledger recieved high recognition for a medium sized school editorial. Having experienced the school environment first hand, I believe it was an amazing, productive, and essential part of my educational experience. Read less

Teaching is lackluster and administration lacks substance. Teacher-initiated communication with the parents is essentially nonexistant. The building is too cold for student comfort during the winter--often below 55 degrees in the classrooms--but school dress code does not permit students to wear a jacket
... Read more when necessary. The after school programs in this school are heavily geared towards athletics and music. There are few academic after school programs other than small clubs not well supported by the staff, administration, and board of education. The after school clubs in the music program place a dire financial burden on the families. One program costs parents thousands of dollars a year, another program costs hundreds of dollars per year. The district has the unwieldly policy of requiring that permission slips be notarized. For years, the board of education has engaged in questionable management of funds, raising the budget but not adequately demonstrating to the taxpayers where the money is being spent. Read less
