The teachers: Some were fine, and some were not. It was a mixed bag. Some will not leave their personal, political, social views at home. It's unprofessional. My son was subjected to frequent, time-consuming lectures from teachers about how that teacher was against marriage, they'd give the class bad financial advice, they'd brag about themselves, another would display controversial flags which do not represent all students..- all which had nothing to do with the curriculum. The building: It was built in the 1930s and is not earthquake safe. I'm glad they're almost done with the new middle school building in West Provo. I have respect for and enjoy old buildings, but I don't like my kids going to school in one that isn't safe. I'm glad my youngest won't have to go to the Dixon building. The boys had no locker room-they had been banned from having one years ago. Now that the kids are out, the superintendent declared the gym to be unsafe (I guess they were crossing their fingers when the students were in there??) What people say: In our neighborhood over the years, I used to hear parents and kids say how much they liked Dixon. Then that started to change in the last few years- many people told me how it is going downhill. And after experiencing it as a parent, I was not surprised at all that Great Schools scored it as a 2/10.The bottom line: Yes, they're building a new school (Shoreline Middle), which is great, but the people in it will be the same. Proceed with caution.

It’s good if your a goody two shoes and faced student. And if you have rich parents to pay for every cent of your lunch money. Administration is bad if you have encountered students that try to get off on a technicality when you are bullied by them. I’ve had to file a harassment complaint against 2 people within the school at my time there years ago. Administration and one welding teacher denied they were a threat at all. In regards to special education they don’t help you at all in regards to passing back into general education. Just random assignments and tests rigged to the point where psychologists can label you until you graduate somehow with 27 credits.

We love Lakeview! We have the best Principal, he truly knows the kids and knows their names. It has the best faculty and teachers around! We love the Portuguese Immersion program as well. This program has some of the best teachers in the whole school. We are very blessed that we live across the street from such an awesome school!
