I rated this school 5 stars because while there are things to be worked on, they are working on these things. The teachers and all of the staff are very friendly and open. They are amazing people to be around. They are working toward a better behavior management system where students will be emotionally and socially supported but also have consequences for their actions when necessary. This is one of the things that is lacking but there is no lack of attention to it. Finally, this school is focused on the whole student (social, emotional and academic). This is something I have never seen in a school and am amazed at the efforts put forth by staff to acknowledge and accommodate for as well as teach those who need support in all areas. I really appreciate this school and what they do.

Lakewood is terrible. Most of the teacher don't care about their students education and only a handful of teachers do care about students. They advertise that they care about students and have zero tolerance for bullying but yet students cyber bullying and jumping other students is a common thing for Lakewood, other students going in groups to physically hurt student is frequent. The cliques at Lakewood disclude students of differences, which is why I don't recommend parents taking their children to LMS.

This is an absolutely beautiful school with great teachers and a welcoming community. Both of my kids have thrived at this school and part of that is due to how much the teachers care about their students. No, you can't just coast by and you have to show some initiative. If you try, they're there to help you and will make sure you succeed. I feel like this is one of the most underrated school districts in the region.
