The best school you could attend in this area

I have three children who attend lake middle school and as a parent I feel that they are getting a wonderful education. Mrs. Myers and the entire staff are concerned educators who are making a difference. I would like to commend the entire faculty and staff for inspiring the children to want to do their best and 'get on board' to continue to be the only level 5 school in our district. Way to go hornets!

I feel my child is getting an absolutely amazing education at Lake High School. The teachers are all very caring and do an excellent job in preparing students for their future. The administration is very caring, helpful, and provides a safe environment for all of the students.
