Open Quote As an educator myself, I have a great deal of respect for both the profession and those who choose to undertake it. However, commenting strictly as a parent of several children at Lakeview, I feel there are some issues that are not being addressed. There is a lack of effective leadership, and it shows in everything from the school discipline program to communication with parents. Standards are rarely ever spelled out effectively to students or parents. When they are, they are so broad as to be both confusing and nearly useless.

Communication is poor. When I wished to get an answer to a question about standards I left THREE polite phone messages (over a 7 business day time period) and none were ever returned by the Principal. I had to physically go to the school to finally address the issue. It was made clear by all the vague answers that, in fact, there were no standards.

If you have talented and gifted identified students, this may not be the best place for your children. The talented and gifted program at Lakeview is really a glorified homework club for math achievement. Nothing outside of math giftedness is even recognized, or addressed. This needs to be changed.

Most of the staff, with a few notable exceptions who seem burned out and bitter, are very caring individuals and really do work hard to see their students succeed. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
