10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe amount of ableism I received at this school is unparalleled. Before I was formally diagnosed with ADHD and autism, I was constantly bullied and disciplined by students and teachers alike for the way my brain functioned. One student went as far as to physically and verbally threaten me, and the history of the mind teacher accused me of diagnosing myself with autism. In fact, they taught several outdated reasons for "how autism develops". I went to the alternative school because it was framed as better for neurodivergent people, only for it to be 90% online with the only goal being for us to all graduate. This led me to making the difficult decision to transfer my senior year. Within the six months I've been at my new school, I have received more kindness than I received in eight years at Elk Rapids. For the first time, I am getting my 504 followed. If you have any form of mental disability, please look elsewhere.Other Review1y ago - Cherryland Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has it all - a great principal, super staff, and very involved parents. We work outside of the district so we have looked at sending our son to a school closer to where we work, but can't find anything to compare to Lakeland!Parent Review13y ago
