Lakeview Jr High is tough to review. The food was ROUGH, the staff were a hit or miss, the education seemed rocky. The only thing I felt came out of the school wasn’t so much the brains, but the after school activities. I’ve watched lakeview alum’s succeed HEAVILY in athletics, theatre, etc. The bra

The communication has been fantastic. Not only do I get emails that generally explain everything being taught or worked on in a class, I get personal emails about my student regularly. This helps me to stay engaged with my student and in-the-know. Everyone is kind and so invested in their classes.
Posted by a parent on 12/4/2023Excellent school district overall. Teachers, principals and families are wonderful. Schools offer excellent curriculum and sports which other schools in the area do not offer. Smaller class sizes as well in comparison to other districts.

Posted by a parent on 9/30/2020This school has THE worst school-parent communication. Emails often seem rushed and not fully thought out and the tone is rude and condescending from the Principal to the office staff! I have had mostly positive interactions so far with the teachers, but right now this school's communication and int

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had such great experiences at this school until this year. We are very unhappy in this district. My child's current homeroom teacher does not respond to emails. Some of the previous teachers have been great so I feel bad leaving this review, but every teacher should communicate with parents. My child has some legitimate learning issues and I don't know where else to turn since the teacher won't respond to any questions.Parent Review1y ago - Gower West Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe principal of the school has a terrible attitude and fake smile.She is terrible with parents and every morning she yells,and every morning when i come by car especially I personally have frustration and stress...nothing to anyone.I have witnessed several times that they open the door in front of me and help the children out.When its my cars turn,they stop and pretend they are not there.When they see that im not moving,they wave their hands for me to go and get out of the circle.The child is still sitting inside because he cannot get out cause he had a child lock.I show them that the child is still inside and ofcourse they just ignore.Then i go out and open the door for him...And every every time like that...THE WORST SCHOOL WITH TERRIBLY UNPROFESIONAL PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH EXTRA SMALL CHILDREN...VERY SCARYParent Review2mo ago - Good Shepherd Lutheran Academy
