Both my kids have had awful experiences here from teachers and students being bullies, to lack of safety. This school has lost my child outside school grounds in kindergarten let students beat your child up with no punishment. And hire staff who like to bully your child who has an IEP with multiple mental disorders and teachers aren't educated on the disorders as well so don't know how to properly handle your child. My child came home crying because her teacher took her paper away while she was drawing balled it up and threw it in the trash without saying a word and when confronting the teacher and principle they saw nothing wrong with the teachers actions. Principle wants your child's butt in the seat so she can get paid but doesn't care what happens to your child. Awful school and awful district. 0 stars if I could I do not recommend this school to any child. Good luck.

My kid has an IEP, I would constantly have to advocate and remind teachers of my kids needs and accommodation. In the end the teachers were legally obligated to comply however kids with IEPs should not have to advocate so adamantly. The whole point of having an IEP to make things less difficult for those that have learning disabilities. When there is resistance to accommodations the learning environment feels hostile. For someone already struggling it makes the mountain feel even taller. Another issue was that my kids witnessed countless instances of racism, religious discrimination and homophobia. From constant use of derogatory terms in everyday language amongst classmates to groups of kids verbally and physical singling out and bully individuals. I am grateful we moved out of Lakeside and no longer have to endure. It felt like a continuous struggle. To elaborate on my grading - To Agree=5pts to Disagree=1pt, so total possible points is 30pointsLearning - I am sure it is very hard to get kids at the middle school age to be excited to do anything educational so I somewhat agree this school dose try to provide engaging educational material however lack of support makes it fall, so this was 3 pointsSpecial Education - All schools by law must comply with the disability requirements however teaches at TDS don't automatically accommodate they wait for you to advocate a& demand your rights so this was 1 pointTeaching - This was hard to grade because some teachers were great, some were okay and some were difficult. My kids each had 7 teachers and out of the 14+ I would say 2 were memorable to be great 8 were memorable to be difficult so that's 6 ok of 8 but then you have to factory the office workers and principal so I gave 2 pointsSafety - My kids did not feel safe and comfortable at all they had few friends who also felt the same so I gave 1 pointSocial-emotional support - when things were brought to attention of the teaches and staff they went through the motions to deal with it but issues would continue & at times escalate. My kids would tell me how teachers would complain about their work and describe their experience with other students its unprofessional so I gave 2ptFamily Engagement - Jupiter grades works however most of the time the grades were not updated until weeks later, this delay doesn't help the student juggle where their focus should be. This skill is necessary for High school. So I gave 2 ptsFinal Grade (D) 11/30pts 36%

This school is disgusting many people have been bullied here and even they had been reports of sexual assault here this school is not safe AT ALL the safety needs to step up
