It cool. I love the teachers. They are nice. Definitely recommend it. I will be sad that I will graduate. Great 3 years. I love it.

I am the parent of a rising senior who has been at Lakeside all years, including through COVID. School is what your teenager makes of it. My kid has had a great learning experience at Lakeside, more opportunity than where we used to live in another state. At Lakeside there is an opportunity for students who like to learn to choose AP or IB curricula. We have a motivated and engaged teen who is interested in learning so both AP and IB options have been excellent. The IB teachers do care about your kid and challenge them to think critically. The band program and other clubs my kid participates in are enjoyable and motivated my child to learn or do different things outside of school and make new friends. In reading the other negative comments....High school is what your kid makes of it. There are the obvious things that happen in most high schools, public and private: smoking/vaping, fights, cliques, bullying, mean girls, cheating, etc. That's life. Parents have a responsibility to help their kids make good choices. Schools have a responsibility to provide opportunities. If kids don't make the right choices given the opportunities it doesn't make it a bad school. The administration here does care and communicates effectively, and have tried different policies to curb smoking etc. My kid's counselor has been really supportive when needed. It is a large school so for some kids they may get lost in the crowd. My kid hasn't had great teachers 100% of the time all 4 years but I would say 80% of the time we have been pleased with the quality of the teaching, especially in IB. I asked my kid-- they would choose Lakeside again given the opportunities -- which makes me happy to recommend it to others.

I went here when I was younger and was bullied from 2nd grade until I moved to middle school. While I was not the best at communicating as a child the staff members often did noting to help the situation. There was clear favoritism with almost every class I was in. I understand that young girls tend to treat each other poorly; however this dose not excuse the treatment I and other girls my age at the time endured. The councilors often failed to help the children who needed it and much of the staff were very openly rude to children they didn’t like. While I have many grievances with the school it provided a good learning environment in most classes and many of the teachers put in the effort to teach each student they had well. I was a gifted student growing up and most of my teachers worked to challenge me and help me grow in a way that shaped who I am as a person now. I thank them for that. Overall this school taught me well when I was little, but while I did learn well I was not treated well and often felt like I didn’t fit in. The favoritism at this school also caused me and many other children to feel unimportant or ignored.
