I'm currently a senior at the school. The school offers great diversity in students, faculty, and extracurriculars. Spending on sports is great but leaves other clubs/activities with what's left. Music is great too and our groups have gone to state or nationals almost every year. The administration has a false sense of what's actually going on in the school, and the counselors especially can rarely see through to actually fixing student issues. College prep is great and every student is focused on individually. Do not eat the cafeteria chicken.
Being a senior, I have loved my experience at LCHS. It provides a great, safe environment for students to be able to come in every day and learn. The staff are incredibly friendly and I have never had a problem with any of them. As for how it goes for student life, the population isn't very large but there are very few problems that ever arise between students. The school provides a learning environment suitable for anyone's needs, no student are left out or are forced to struggle in an over extensive class for them. In addition to a great environment, Lakes also has excellent extracurricular activity. From sports to clubs, there's something for everyone. I am proud to be a Lakes Eagle and have enjoyed my years at the school.
My overall favorite memories with Lakes was the amazing connections I made with some of my teachers. Some specific teachers actually cared about the students day, made sure they understood the content, and helped them succeed in the class. I made lifelong friendships with a few of my teachers and will forever appreciate that. From having lunch with them, to receiving the best life advice, I am so thankful. Some teachers didn't only teach the course, but things you need to know in the real world. Additionally, I think that the school is very diverse and has lots of class choices and opportunities to all students. For instance, there is a law class, preschool class, and even a women in literature course. I understand that every school is going to have bad teachers, but in my four years of math, I didn't have one good math teacher. Also, my counselor was no help and would force me to take classes. Overall, it is a great school and I am happy that I spent four amazing years there.
