I am a sophmore at Lake Weir High School enrolled in the Pre-IB program. October of 2008 I transferred from North Marion High School to Lake Weir, and I must say I was welcomed and immediatley felt at home. The teachers and staff really have a handle on things and it's such a loving community I couldn't imagine myself else where. Going to school takes a burden away rather than creating one. Especially being in the Pre-IB program, things can get hetic, but you have so much support from the school. I adore it.

I am a freshmen at Lake Weir High school I have only been a member of the school for a few months and my veiw or the school is among the highest. Transfering from middle to high was sure to be a scary thing, but the administrators were very kind and helpful. I am a student in the 'considering to be accepted IB program) I currently have a 4.7 GPA and am on the drill team as a part of the 'Superior' band led by Michael Jennings and Lynn Bennett. I am proud to be a 'Cane' and would recomend this school to any student young or old, athlete or child prodigy!!!!

Lake Weir High School is an awesome school to be at. I am a Junior in the school and this is my first year there. In most of the public schools I've been in the teachers didn't necessarily care about the students all that much. They just want to do their job and get paid. But at Lake Weir High, the teachers actually care about the students. If a student is having trouble understanding something, they will sit down with the student and explain it to them. Not to mention, our football team is doing very well this year. :D And once the construction is finished, I have no doubt that Lake Weir High will be an even better school. Our principle, deans, teachers, and all of the other staff are really doing a marvelous job at this school.

My school also, has the best band in marion county and I am prond to say that I am apart of it in a way. Parents on the other hand don't give full support to our school.

I like the school. While I'd agree that there are issues, it is a mostly rural school dealing with kids that are not the cream of the crop. The instructors are wonderful and care about the kids

Over all I think any school you go to you are going to have what parents call'Bad Teachers' but Lake Weir as a group I would not say has bad teachers. Parents and teachers need to work together, Its just as much our job to be there for our kids and it is the teachers. As for our Football team well look out world things are going to change for us. We have Coaches that want to be at our school and help our boys win some games! And last but not least our new Principle she will not play around, she means what she says and that is what our school need.... Co Canes !

My child attends this school and I have found that the teachers do not seem to care what the students do or don't do, they just tolerate the class and do not concern themselves with whether the student understands or not. Of course this does not apply to all the teachers, I am sure, however, it has been the general rule for the teachers my child has had over the past 2 years. Also, very little homework is assigned,how can a child prepare for college without structure. This school has been a major disappointment. In attempting to communicate with staff I found them mostly to be uninterested and borderline offensive.
