All of the teachers and staff at Lake are committed to giving all the students a quality education and it is obvious they have suceeded when you notice that Lake has the highest test scores in the district!

We moved to this area of town in order to attend Lake Elementary. Both of my daughters attend the school and have enjoyed excellent teachers every year. Lots of opportunities for parents to be involved and volunteer. We wouldn't go anywhere else!
I am currently researching High schools in this school district. I found the comments on this elementary to really vary. I only weeks ago decided to leave Lake and try homeschooling. I felt some of the same frustrations that the of the others parents feel.But the good news is that VUSD has alot of choices. I do not agree that parents should not 'prepare the path 'for their kids. My kids work hard and are very bright, I just wanted a different learning enviroment for them. If your not happy look to some of the other schools.There are some great options in VUSD. Don't feel that your hands are tied. Your unhappiness will affect your kids education. Also be willing to ask for different teachers, there are some really good ones at Lake. I agree with the others about the principal. If she were friendly, it would change the school enviroment.

We LOVE Lake and feel so blessed to have our children attending there. We have two kids at Lake an our son is now in 5th grade and our youngest is in 3rd. I stumbled across this website while looking for something else and found interesting to read the most recently posted review because it appears this is from one of the very few parents who is dissatisfied with Lake. I believe that is a case of the type of parent who tries to 'prepare the path for the child' instead of the other way around as it ought to be. If the kids won't do the work and don't follow playground rules, there are appropriate consequences. The kids work hard, but the teacher's our children have had have been fantastic at each level--especially Mrs. Parker in 3rd grade. Wow!
