I think the biggest problem that our school has is not a problem that 'we' can solve, but a problem 'you' can solve. We have been attacked over and over by myths and rumors by just plain idiots. LCHS is one of the greatest schools I have been too and as the years go the school, staff, teachers and programs

I was told on many occasions by the teachers that they welcome my emails and would love to have more parents interact with them.

I have two children that attend Lakeview and went to school there myself. I think the school needs allot of work. They have their favorite students (such as those in the magnet programs) and if you do not fit into that category then good luck.

I read an earlier comment about the attendance office employees and I have to disagree. Mrs. Shaw is wonderful!

I agree that Admin plays favorites with people in athletics, Cheer and Drill Team, especially students with positions. Seems like things are swept under the rug when it comes to the favorites.

This is my daughter's second year here and I will be moving her to another school ASAP. Do not walk, run when it comes to this school. The admin protects abusive students if they play sports and leave the abused to feel threatened with no help.
