Lake Shore Middle School

This is a great school however it’s extremely overcrowded! They over accept and accommodate students outside of the neighborhood. Too many students. Extended day has a long waitlist. They don’t prioritize students that actually live in this school zone.

Emotionally not safe for kids mentally not safe for kids

I would raise legitimate issues to the principal concerning the mistreatment of my son by teachers only for my son to be pulled out of class and ridiculed by the principal with passive aggressive statements insinuating he was in more trouble. The only ones who were not drunk on power would be the 2 sweet ladies in the front office.The education is great here but the teachers do not create an environment conducive enough to support your childs social growth and development. There was one math teacher calling certain kids stupid when they got a problem wrong, my son hated that class because she would start yelling at him calling him by her husbands name. The favortism is unreal. My son had a 101% average in Bible yet he did not receive the award for it..Each year when it was given to other students teachers would glance at him, even the kids would say he had been robbed..mind you he is not a bad kid has received citizenship and prior to this school A-B honor roll. They like who they like and the leadership is to protect the teacher verses being non biased. I reached out to the teacher and principal asking why didnt he receive the award..no response given.. the next school year his bible teacher tells me he is the leader in that class and how he gets everyone excited about bible and helps to teach them things..that year again skipped over with no award.. I have another child but because of my son's experience I will not send her there and if your child is of color I would strongly recommend picking a different choice.

The school used to be great. It went downhill within a year, and all of the longtime teachers left. It got so bad that some teachers left mid-year. They constantly play musical teachers. There's drama amongst the staff which I have witnessed first hand while at school functions. They raise the price of tuition significantly every year to the point that it will no longer be affordable to send even 1 child. The first year, my child was provided with support for special needs. Since then, nothing has been done to support her even after meetings with the counselor, teachers, and the principal. The school is garbage. Save your money and send your child elsewhere.
