Teachers are great, leadership probably has their hands tied because the bullying is like nothing my family has ever experienced before. We have been very proactive yet the school just keeps saying the bullies are on a discipline plan. The plans obviously don't work and it's going to take something really drastic for this school to have effective changes.

Lake Hills has a wonderful family engagement practice. They are consistently communicating through monthly Principal Newsletters, monthly social-emotional character trait newsletters, messages home from the teachers using ParentSquare or ClassDojo, the giant marquee out front, flyers sent home, etc. The school works hard to have regular events where families can be involved, such as Book Picnic, Donuts with Grown-ups, family Glow Dance party, movie nights, etc. Each year has different events spread out throughout the year. They provide regular awards assemblies and invite the parents of students who earned an award. They also have a program for father-figures to encourage male participation in volunteering at the school. The campus has good security, with gate key or office only access to the campus as well as supervisors monitoring students during unstructured times. I have two children enrolled and they are both doing very well academically, they have been provided support in areas of need. They have a teacher out of the classroom that provides special support to students who are struggling with reading, and another who provides special support for students who are struggling in math. The staff is always respectful and try their best to be collaborative and inclusive. There is a full time School Counselor who provides monthly social/emotional lessons, college and career exploration events such as career day, small groups, individual support, connection to community resources, etc.Overall as a parent, as well as a fellow educator, I feel very comfortable sending my children to this school. In the years I have been a part of this school, I have been extremely satisfied and I would highly recommend it to other families. There has been a few things here and there that have come up, as is expected, but the Principal and/or the teachers are quick to listen to my concerns and collaborate with me as to finding a solution.If others are looking into the school, keep in mind that most reviews are posted from people who are discouraged by a situation that occurred. I recommend contacting the school, talking to the Principal, or even scheduling a tour to help you feel more comfortable with the school and it's environment.
