I am in this school district and the administrator treats us the same way (see April 15, 2008). I feel like he picks out kids and those just don't get the same chance as the others. No matter what they do it will never be good enough and we have been told they can not help us. Its sad to experience

At first blush, this school seems like a good one. The students are quite nice and many of the teachers exemplary.However, be careful if you are at all different from the perceived staus quo. For example, if you have a problem with a teacher or are at the school from outside the district-Good Luck.

My children, both 'A' students, were not even able to complete a single school year, but returned to their neighborhood school. Please see the comments from the parent of January 3rd, 2005 and take heed. I wish I had, because the comments do not apply solely to children with special needs, but anyone looking for a special helping hand. Most importantly, if you are looking to attend through Wisconsin's open enrollment, you might want to look elsewhere. Read less

We have had three children attend LCS and have been very happy with the core curriculum as well as the art, music, physical education, guidance, health, technology, choir/band, and foreign language programs. We have also had experience with the special needs education program at Lake Country and are
... Read more completely happy with the support and programming that our child has received. We moved into this district so that our children could benefit from a K-8 experience and feel very blessed in that decision. We feel Lake Country offers much more than other districts near us and has saved much of the curriculum that other districts have been forced to cut. LCS continues to offer our children a firm educational foundation that prepares them well for their high school experience. Read less

Lake Country School is about as close as you can come to quality private school education in a public school. I would say a full 90% of the staff goes above and beyond, and are, in the words of my 7th grader, 'amazing.' Or sometimes he calls his current teacher 'da bomb.' Especially in the upper grades,

Parents are a welcome part of the educational community and are visible in the hallways always. We have sent three children to LCS and are sad to think of ever leaving. It is a very, very special place. Read less

My son has been attending Lake Country School for almost 2 years and it has been great. He is special needs and where his last school completely failed, Lake Country has really stepped up and has done an excellent job in getting him the help he needs. His progress has been amazing and their patience

I can only attribute this to the guidance and patience of his teachers and the excellent feedback I receive and communication with his teachers have really helped with getting him the help he needs outside of school. I commute about 1.5 hours each morning and evening to keep him at Lake Country. That should say enough!! Read less

My daughter was new nearly 2 years ago in 6th grade. Coming from a school in the south this school was a welcomed change. Students were receptive and friendly. The school is much smaller than the schools in the south. Teachers are very nice. The curriculum is challenging, unlike the schools my daughter

I was shocked though that they had no video monitoring system as all the others schools we had been at, had them in the halls and everywhere. They are adding some now in the parking lot and in parts of the school next year. Read less

For average and above average kids, Lake Country School was a fine school.
