Lake Middle School is a great school. The campus is small, but personal. This school offers so much for students. The teachers are the best. They really care about the students and work well with parents. Teachers there are never too busy to talk with a parent.

Lake middle school is the best scholl in this country by far!!! The academics are advanced they are a level 5 school which is the best there is and the staff is outstanding from the wonderful teachers to even the delighful cafeteria workers... there is no other school a child can attend... is it ran very professionally by an extremely honest, fair, and organized principal, kathy myers... This woman is the best there is.. She treats each student with the highest of respect and fairness and she gives you chance after chance to get things right, she just tries to understand and love her students and for that she has earned a huge place in my heart.... i love lake and it's people and of course Kathy Myers!!!!!
