Jo Ann (the vice principal) is a bully and demonstrates passive aggressiveness towards other adults, which creates a very toxic environment. The principal doesn't even respond to emails or phone calls. The teachers are nice and seem to genuinely care about the kids. If the administration fails, how can the school function? This place is setting itself up for a potential lawsuit in the near future with this "I don't give a care" mentality.

We feel so fortunate to have Lakewood as our neighborhood school! No school is perfect, but the staff here truly cares about the students, and they're working hard to build an inclusive, supportive community of teachers, kids and parents. We've had teachers go above and beyond for our child during "normal" years, and we truly appreciate the transparent, straightforward, consistent communications we've received from the principal since the pandemic started. Lakewood doesn't get the attention that the more flashy elementary schools in AAPS receive...and I kind of feel like it's a hidden gem.

It was not great. The way of dealing with mental health and such wasn't great either.

I've had 2 children graduate from Skyline thus far. They received an excellent education and were well prepared for college. They both have careers in STEM at this time. They both participated in Magnet Programs and those were very valuable to their learning experience. The majority of their high school friends are doing great in their lives and careers as well. I am 100% satisfied with our experience.
