Nicknamed millweed middle school by the kids that for here for a reason. Gang violence. Bullying. Teachers who can't connect with kids who are gifted or are plane checked out. Stay away.

I really love it here. I’ve been to three high schools overall, and Lyman is my third and final one. I feel safe, there are many ways to get involved in the school culture, and overall other students are respectful to each other and care about doing well in class. If you hang out with the right people, you won’t have any trouble doing good here, but that’s with any school. I’m proud to be graduating from here, and really love the motto of diversity and inclusivity because it’s true. We’re always up to date on events because of the weekly newsletters from Mr. Hunter. The communication and environment is great :)

We've been at Lake Orienta from Kindergarten to 4th grade now, almost 5th. While the curriculum focuses strongly on FSA scores, it is not the teachers or the admins fault, it is unfortunately our state's fault. We have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff and teachers. There are lots of after school activities for the kids, families, (they even host parent date nights where you can drop kids off for a movie!) and extra-curricular activities like cross country and music. There are a few bad apples here, but that is the fault of the parents and not due to a lack of teacher or staff intervention. I've been notified immediately if my child was involved in an incident. We put a lot into our child and his education, and so we get a lot out of it. We are going to miss it after next year!
