The Best experience at Lake Taylor High-school is their Basketball games, and the worst experience at Lake Taylor High-school is the environment of the school. I would like to change the environment and make it a more academic friendly school.

Personally, I'm disappointed with the lack of empathy and connection with the teachers here. They don't allow underclassmen to have study hall, but throw a HUGE course load on high school students' shoulders. They house rather than teach students.

The school life in Lake Taylor is really emotionally unstable.The teachers don't care as much as they should,but that's not all on the teachers fault.My fellow classmates is just there so they wont have to go to court for their attendance dates.Also all the money that they get for sports goes to football and basketball,it isn't shared around the other sports that is offered. play 3 sports for Take Taylor field hockey,tennis and swim.For field hockey and tennis we have to dig in and find super old uniforms or share with other sports.Two of our female tennis players didn't even have a uniform shirt but football and basketball players get new uniforms every other game.

I agree run the other way! In my opinion there are no Norfolk public schools that are any good!

Run the other way!!! Do not allow your child to go to this school!!! If you can't afford Private School, don't move into this district. Principals and teachers DO NOT CARE!! Teachers will tell the kids they only teach there to get their loans paid off.
