Lakeside Middle School is the worst school to have your kids to go to it's drama filled. A lot of fights for no reason,kids in that school is blood thirsty always wanting to see a fight like really.Teachers in that school is rude since there teachers they can write you up and the principal will believe it cause it's the teachers words.They got perverts in that school like don't let your kids go to that school

This school means alot to me. I learned how to be a leader, and not fall into peer pressure. As I fall into the last year there I can truly say there is no better school than this! (besides the MMA Marine Military Academy)

Some kids in our school just dont know how much love and support the school is willing to give, but eventually they will figure out. I'll be going into 8th grade next year. I sure as welll can not wait !! i love lakeside. new jerseyyyyy :]

This school is outragously strict! Not that strict is bad, but they are thinking about making 'one way' hallways? This will make all the students late for class! How come students get in trouble for having chewing gum, but the teachers are allowed to have food and drink in front of the class? And what's with this lunch schedule that they sometimes do? You have to sit down and wait to be called on to get inline for food? And you have to be completely quiet or you get detention? I thought lunch time was when you are supposed to socialize since there is no recess I'm glad I left before all this started!
