Stafford Middle School

I have been pleased with the Lake View. I was worried about the school ratings. The teachers have been great and I feel confident with their learning program. I love the diversity

Purefoy is fantastic. The teachers are chosen for being loving first and academics second. My kids have thrived here. This school was ranked 10/10 when we bought our house in 2020. I believe the high number of students with disabilities has brought the scores down. The number of low income students has gone up some too. The leadership here is excellent, and we feel very blessed to have this as our neighborhood school.

This is currently my 8th year going to the school and it sucks, used to be better before, but now over the years it slowly degraded. Teachers seem to have a blind eye towards bullying which I see primarily happen in 6th grade though unfortunately all the good teachers I personally like leave the school. Oh yeah the lunch sucks most of the time, sometimes its alright but mainly its just kind of stale and low quality; they keep serving the worse pancakes i've ever had which for some what reason is their favorite to hand out constantly. Another note on the teachers, primarily middle school ones most of them seem friendly but will get to yelling if you really push their buttons which I personally don't want to get yelled and be ridiculed by them which will happen if you some how make them extremely mad which I've done personally. Only time the staff really intervene is whenever you get into a fight, one time i got into a fight with 2 boys in my class and there was no punishment for the boy who really pushed my buttons and was rather hostile towards me over the school year; except for me with a 2 day suspension. Homework is alright, not too hard really but you will see times where multiple teachers give you homework on basically the same day. Obviously most teachers favor the girls for whatever reason even if the girls are breaking classroom rules. One thing I don't like about our schedule, speaking from 7th grade experience(now going into 8th) is that our P.E. time interferes with the little kids time to eat. If you're wondering the new gym is where P.E. is held and where we eat, so they split the gym in half with a cover, I rarely had a time where I had a full gym, really sucks they couldn't just continue using the parish as the cafeteria, or just make a dedicated one later.
