I have had a wonderful experience at Lakeside School. I have made many friends that I think will last a lifetime. The staff is very friendly and very involved. I have learned a lot and I was chosen as our Student Section Leader this year for our school. My math skills have really improved thanks to one teacher there. He just makes learning fun and teaches in a way that you understand. The school does consist of a lot of wealthy kids and that could maybe be a negative in some ways for other kids. I would say if I wanted to see any change it would be better and more food that is served.

Teachers here care about their students and for the most part everyone is kind to each other. The school is not too big, but not too small either.
