Lakewood Ranch High School

Pretty good school so far. No complaints

I am a grandparent who visits regularly, often on Fridays when you can attend for lunch with a child. This school has a broad spectrum of students, with an experienced faculty. Thus far, my grandson seems to have benefitted from that faculty and the general atmosphere which seems in all respects to be caring, respectful and responsible. I have witnessed no bullying or other negative behavior during lunch time, children seem to interact freely and in a very friendly and accepting matter, and there is always someone watching over them. Teaching is an exhausting job, and I appreciate the effort involved. The support staff is also uniformly friendly and respectful to both adults and children. Overall, I would as a retired professional give this school good marks. I have seen nothing significant which would raise any red flags. I have no experience with special education or special needs, but the physical needs of students seem to be met.

The school is the best ever , and the teachers are very nice. Teacher Courtney is very compassionate

My daughter truly enjoys attending this school and looks forward to going every day with a smile. As she is in VPK, I deeply appreciate the staff’s attentiveness and the genuine care they show by personally escorting her to her classroom each morning. Her teacher is wonderful — caring, patient, and truly dedicated to the children’s development. As a parent, it gives me great peace of mind to know that my daughter is in such a loving and supportive environment. I am sincerely grateful for all they do.

The best and coolest principal!! My kids love this school.

Absolutely horrible. Both my kids have had 3 different teachers this year. My daughter was bullied by one of her teachers. They did nothing but enable and make excuses for the teacher. My daughter was showing signs of a medical emergency in the classroom that scared the kids- that teacher did nothing. Did not push the button. Went to the front office- nurse was out on medical leave- and she had a seizure. They called me before calling 911. The stress of that teacher and the bulking of that teacher brought on the seizure. She could have died that day according to the emergency room report by the doctors. The doctors were appalled. They never replaced the teacher. She continued to take shots at my daughter and said she was faking the seizure. She made ICE comments when most of the class is Hispanic. She refused my daughter to go to the bathroom and get water. It took a doctor’s note to get the school to comply. We have unenrolled. They never put the safety of the children first.
