This school is great! The principal is so involved and engaging with the children and families. We love the community feel about this school. Our child needed extra help in certain areas and the school went above and beyond to help.

My kid has an IEP, I would constantly have to advocate and remind teachers of my kids needs and accommodation. In the end the teachers were legally obligated to comply however kids with IEPs should not have to advocate so adamantly. The whole point of having an IEP to make things less difficult for those that have learning disabilities. When there is resistance to accommodations the learning environment feels hostile. For someone already struggling it makes the mountain feel even taller. Another issue was that my kids witnessed countless instances of racism, religious discrimination and homophobia. From constant use of derogatory terms in everyday language amongst classmates to groups of kids verbally and physical singling out and bully individuals. I am grateful we moved out of Lakeside and no longer have to endure. It felt like a continuous struggle. To elaborate on my grading - To Agree=5pts to Disagree=1pt, so total possible points is 30pointsLearning - I am sure it is very hard to get kids at the middle school age to be excited to do anything educational so I somewhat agree this school dose try to provide engaging educational material however lack of support makes it fall, so this was 3 pointsSpecial Education - All schools by law must comply with the disability requirements however teaches at TDS don't automatically accommodate they wait for you to advocate a& demand your rights so this was 1 pointTeaching - This was hard to grade because some teachers were great, some were okay and some were difficult. My kids each had 7 teachers and out of the 14+ I would say 2 were memorable to be great 8 were memorable to be difficult so that's 6 ok of 8 but then you have to factory the office workers and principal so I gave 2 pointsSafety - My kids did not feel safe and comfortable at all they had few friends who also felt the same so I gave 1 pointSocial-emotional support - when things were brought to attention of the teaches and staff they went through the motions to deal with it but issues would continue & at times escalate. My kids would tell me how teachers would complain about their work and describe their experience with other students its unprofessional so I gave 2ptFamily Engagement - Jupiter grades works however most of the time the grades were not updated until weeks later, this delay doesn't help the student juggle where their focus should be. This skill is necessary for High school. So I gave 2 ptsFinal Grade (D) 11/30pts 36%

a custodian name is Anthony Chavez. He forced himself onto my friends 16 year old son when Chavez offered him a ride home but went straight to a park instead and that's when Chavez tried to force himself on him but failed when my friend's son pushed him off and got out of the car.Me and others do suspect that Chavez has been doing this to other boys in the area including the boys that goes to El Capitan after one of us heard about Chavez on Social apps.After my friend's son refused to go to make a report due to the embarrassment and being scared Chavez will come after him. We emailed the school and told them about what happened In the park but it was ignored. We even went in and was told to come back. Someone who works at El Capitan and told me that Chavez got into trouble for stealing supplies but Chavez made up a story then we saw it on Facebook about him stealing.If they want to listen to a lair and a thief that like manipulating them than to care about the safety of our children then we the community will do everything in our power to stop him or get him away from our children.The community needs to know what's really going on at our children schools and what type of people they are letting work there so Please share and let others know.
