3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school, terrible teaching terrible staff they lock the bathrooms and take away the children’s privilege to use it just too bad They turned their Google reviews off with photos. they don’t have safety put in place for these children. There’s not enough staff. There’s not enough room on this facility for this many people. I don’t know how they get away with it. why can’t Port County afford to build new middle schools but yet they can pop up elementary school schools like nothing?? 40+ kids to one teacher?? what are y’all teaching? What are you doing? This school needs to be shut down. My daughter went there in 2023. They were locking the bathrooms. My niece is now currently going there in 2026. Same thing is going on. she runs from the bus stop every day because she has to use the bathroom so bad do you not realize the health problem you are causing these kids ? What about the young ladies on their menstrual cycles that are bleeding on their self because they’re not getting to use the bathroom on time or enough? Polk County school board is trash. This school specifically is extremely trash and should have been shut down years ago. I myself went to this middle school. Polk county is trash. Their school board is trash. Their police are trash if your kid goes to the school. I’m so sorry. Homeschooling is much better and they provide funds.Parent Review1mo ago - Lake Region High School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school deserves ZERO stars. The bullying and the fighting that administrators refuse to diffuse or intervene has gotten completely out of hand. Schools are supposed to be a safe place for your children to learn and grow. No one’s child should have to go to school on edge or in fear for their life everyday & it’s the ADULTS (teachers, administrators, school resource officers) that have a duty to protect our children from danger whether it’s their job to or not and that does not happen. They all should be ashamed of themselves!! SCHOOL BOARD NEEDS TO REANALYZE THESE SO CALLED PROFESSIONALS.Parent Review7mo ago - Chain Of Lakes Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have nothing against the school personally, but the security guard permanently banned my wife from the school when she had depression, and had an episode. We did ask the principal if my wife was allowed to come to our daughter's graduation, and she agreed. When we were at the graduation, the security guard saw us inside and made us leave. Due to this, we won't register our son to Chain of Lakes. My wife has been healthy for a year now, and I just feel like we were discriminated against due to my wife's illness. This was so heartbreaking for our daughter to witness us being kicked out of her graduation.Parent Review11mo ago
