The teachers are engaging and make learning a meaningful activity. The various classes are advanced and have taught me a lot of new things. Overall, I've really enjoyed the time I've spent here and I'm grateful to have been able to take advantage of the many opportunities of Lakeside.

The best part of Lakeside is the culture. Grades are tight-knit and friendly--I would say hi to almost anyone passing them in the hallways. Teachers are open to feedback and always available to give you the resources you need. School wide events are fun and full of school spirit. The notable drawback I've found is the competitive and cut throat environment that is created during college app season or around big tests or projects.

Both of my daughters went from Lakeside to one of the top 10 universities in the world. The preparation they received at Lakeside was more than adequate to prepare them for the transition from high school to university. The opportunities, academic, athletic and social, are absolutely first rate for...
