4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent , we all want whats best for our kids. Our experience with Lacey schools was the best. Both of my kids graduated near the top of their classes and excelled in academics, sports, music . One graduated from IVY LEAGUE , the other from PACE UNIVERSITY in NY. They are excelling in their careers far beyond what we could have imagined. They are well rounded, happy, and successful. They both would say that they enjoyed and benefited from Lacey Schools. I would recommend to ANYONE considering moving into Lacey that its a great place to live with great schools. We are so proud of what our kids have accomplished and we believe that its because of the educational foundation established at Lacey Twp schools.Parent Review8y ago
