GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

From starting Lakes Community High School fresh as a high school freshman, the area and school took time to get used to. I noticed academics were even greater than other schools i grew up in. A lot of the teachers at Lakes have had a long career at Lakes, and form great bonds with students to ensure their academic excellence.

Well im a senior that goes to lakes and i feel like they should add more black kids to the school there is too much white people at lakes and the white people can sometimes be racist and this is coming from a black person.

My children received a well rounded educational experience. The classes and teachers prepared them for the rigors of college level coursework and taught them solid study skills to help them be successful at the next level.
