Best school, best principal, best wrestling team, best baseball team, best student, best teachers. Just the best.
So far, this school is great, I don't believe that it is a horrible school, it's just that the student are disgruntled that they have nowhere to smoke without getting caught, and disrespecting fellow students.
Hi, I am a student of lakewood. I have been going to this school for only one year and already I thinks this is the WORST school I have ever been to. The staff at lakewood are the rudest people alive. The teachers "could care less about us as long as they get paid" as said by my biology teacher.There is always fights at this school. There has been about 4 riots since I've been here. The special ed kids are mistreated as I have witnessed. Most of my teachers don't even teach they just give us worksheets. The principle to my eyes is over paid and does nothing he's hardly ever at the school. My parents and I agreed that I will do homeschooling because the rest of the school around here a ghetto and overcrowded. I've also heard from staff that the school is going to be cutting classes.
My daughter will be a Senior this year. Our experience at this school has been wonderful and most of her teachers thats she's had, have shown an interest in her education.
They have tons of different activities for the kids to keep them in school. The best is their honor choir-music dept. They put on a hugh musical every year and plus sing at different funtions. They even go on a musical cruise every year and sing. Funds are raised by the students and parents for them do to this.
Hello, I was a former student at Lakewood High School. I'd like to say that this school is a wide diverse campus for you or your child to learn. Although there is occasional racial tension, I believe that it's a wonderful place to get to know others and their cultures. My teachers cared and worked hard for the students that actually tried to keep up in the class. I don't believe it's the teacher's fault as to why some students fail, it's because they choose to do that and some also have a bad attitude towards learning itself. Is it really the teacher's entire responsibility to keep the students on their feet? No! The student must also be willing to learn in order to succeed. Lakewood is a one of a kind experience, something you must experience firsthand.
I thought this school would be great, but I guess I set my expectations too high. There are a lot of teachers that don't care and a lot of racism at this school.
Hi there! I'm a current student at Lakewood High School. I am in the Merit Scholars SLC, which is somewhat challenging. The curriculum is a bit more advanced. I take Algebra 1-2, Kinesiology PE, Computer Applications, French 1-2, Biology 1-2, and English 1-2 accelerated. If you're looking for a good program for your academically challenged child, I do recommend Merit Scholars. Other academies/SLCs I recommend are either Odyssey or ATM. Since the first day of school, Lakewood High School is a great place to learn. Link Crew welcomes incoming freshman through orientation. Throughout the year, I've experienced the days of a typical Lakewood High student. My sister is an Odyssey sophomore, and soon my other sister will be joining Lakewood as an Odyssey freshman. The sports are great, the teachers are great, we try to keep the campus clean, etc. Pick Lakewood! GO LANCERS! =]
