i do not know what these reviewers are talking about. obviously they have never attended the school and are speaking from an outsider's point of view. There are many great teachers at the school that make it a fun and great atmosphere to learn in. As for the comment that the school is not a challenge for the 'gifted' students. If that is true than why is lakes suited for a student who has an I.Q. of nearly 200 and is a senior that is younger than the average sophmore? As for myself i am an honors student in most categories that offer it and i have yet to become bored with the curriculum.

Lakes is an ideal school for the average student. Anything above, your child will be at a complete disadvantage. Clean, safe and middle school atmosphere; a hospital environment as walls still remain white (no allowance for student creativity in expression). Not much going on for being a high school; students do not have much drive regarding school support/spirit (besides football). Principal, articulate and professional, doing best; knowing his limitations with Supt./BOE. Again, if your child is driven, smart and thinks outside the box - he/she will be disappointed as to the limitations at LCHS. Truly anticipating the Principal's goals and achievements... if anyone realizes, he will make eventual changes. Excellent teachers eventually leave the mondane atmosphere, to be in a district which allows for stepping beyond the instructional manual.

Great school Safe respectful place to be, and learn. Elective courses are bland. and not a broad enough choice.

16 for double dating, and 18 by themselves. So many kids are put in situations that they do not have the capacity to guage!
