Lake Hazel Middle School

This school is very lazy. There are a couple teachers that try but the others are there just for the money. there is alot of stealing going on and the school doesnt even know. the kids dont know how to keep their hands to them selves and not hit other kids or take other peoples food or money. very poor school. Very unwelcoming. P.S im a student so I get to expierence all these things first hand.

This school is horrible. I came here for seventh grade and fell into a great depression from it. The teachers here are not fair or welcoming. They are always choosing favorites which are always the popular mean group. Also they wont help you if your new to middle school in seventh grade. Before, in sixth grade, I was in the Boise school district, so i went to an elementary school. When i moved here though, The teachers expected me to be familiar with the lockers and period and other differences that i wasn't used to. They were also very cold towards me, immediatly marking me as "trouble" because of how i dressed. The students were just as bad, if not worse, the meaner, richer ones being part of student council and teachers pet. This school drove me to self harm, which made the teachers hate me even more. I wouldn't even give this school a star if i didnt have to. I would strongly suggest to avoid this school if possible.

So far I haven't seen any suport from ANYONE to help my child in their low grades, and when I've tried to get involved, nobody wants to help me or give me any time at all... Very FRUSTRATING!!... Unless your child have "F"s in every class, most likely you are on your own, I have sent emails to the teachers trying to help,and I hadly every get a answer, the staff is not FRIENDLY AT ALL!... Thinking about moving my child somewhere else...

I've gone to this school for two years and it is not very good. The extra cirriculars are very unorganized and they don't offer many oppurtunities. The teachers are very closed minded and don't give much credit. The staff is unfriendly and the school is depressing.

There are some bumpey spots in the school, but it has great teachers and staff! If I were to pick the best middle school around it would probably be this one.

Lake Hazel Middle School is a school that needs help although the extra curricular activities may be excellent the academic portion of this school lacks resources and fundamentals. Although lake Hazel has ordinary Drills such as fire and lockdown. I do not see it as a safe and well guarded place for my child to go to. The teacher staff is great but the the units that they are teaching do not have fundamentals to relate to the topic. The children are treated like they have no purpose and the teachers do not go to any extent to go beyond the subject and explore there teachings.. I believe that every child should have the chance to learn and self explore. without individual books for each child they can not have that opportunity. The sharing locker situation also bothers me. kids needs there own space to put there own stuff.

This school is not given enough credit. Most people just think of it as ghetto when it is really a great school. The sports opportunities are awesome and the punishment for students is fair. LHMS also has some of the highest ISAT scores in the district. This school also has the highest number of student population while it also has the smallest campus. The Gifted and Talented workshops are very opportunistic as well as the Special Education areas. Lake Hazel is Truly a good school even though most people make fun of its bad looks and amount of money. This is the best school!

I feel the teachers do not take time to help the students that are struggling to learn. I do not feel there is very good communication from the VP with the parents when there are problems at the school. I am not at all happy with this school!
