Lakeside Academy

The enviroment that my child is always in to me is a blessing. The teachers are constantly giving the children praises. For every 1 negative thing a child may do the teacher tries and gives them 5 positives.

Last year (06/07) my children had a wonderful year and the teachers and administrators could not have been more helpful. This year I removed my child from the school after his teacher proved to be rude to me, unable to maintain discipline in her class. The focus of the school this year seems to be only the topics of the 'no child left behind act' and meeting the state minimums rather than a true well rounded education. My children can now use a computer but know very little about history or language arts. They rarely bring home crafts and the homework is minimal. The math program chosen by the school system as a whole is a sad excuse for a method of teaching math. No instructions are sent home for the parents when they come up with 'creative' methods of teaching. Very frustrating.

Lakeside Academy is a great school. Children are taught important social and behavior skills. They have great science and computer labs that make learning fun. Lakeside also has a great parent workroom that makes volunteering easy. The school has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Lakeside Academy is a wonderful magnet school.

Even though this is a magnet school I do not feel that is is any better. The some teachers are very rude. Many student fall through the cracks and are not helped when they have special needs. Basic skills are not taught. Such as reading and math. Instead they focus on computers and science. I believe students are being cheated out of a good educaton. Parents are 'required' to be involved, but this rule is not inforced. Most parents never enter the building.
