Lake Braddock Secondary School is a secondary school located in Burke,Virginia. I can't speak highly enough about this school. I am currently a senior and since I started back in 7th grade at this school, I have enjoyed every single day, moment, and events that have taken place here. I have met incredible people who have ambitions and dreams they want to accomplish. I have made lots of friends who have proven themselves to be loyal and supportive colleagues. Lastly I have had incredible teachers who have taught me so much and that made my learning experience and enjoyable one. These teachers were very passionate and caring with all the students and the subject they were teaching. I am very glad that I have attended this school for both middle and high school. I am really going to miss everything about it when I graduate and move into the next chapter in my life in June!
Lake Braddock is amazing! Us students have the ability to choose from many opportunities in electives. The staff is decent and engages with students in fun ways. Over all Lake Braddock is an amazing school with a great district students are very diverse. Lake Braddock is very safe school, we have security guards left and right! Lake Braddock has a huge selection of foods to enjoy from for example we have American Food, Italian food, Chinese food, Mexican food and more varieties! Lake Braddock has a great selection of sports. We have an outstanding musical and arts program, students can engage with almost any instrument you can think of! We also have many languages to learn from. We also have different cultural clubs! Our administration is always there to hold out a steady hand to support students at all times.
As a whole, I love my school. I've been at Lake Braddock since seventh grade, and I've made amazing friends here! It has a strong band program, and I'm a member of its Symphonic Band as well as the schools marching band. I also participate in Varsity Basketball and Varsity Soccer. It's a great school for academics, offering a wide variety of classes of all levels, and there are lots of AP classes which students can get college credit for. There are also career focused classes, such as Teachers for Tomorrow, where you learn about the career you want and then by taking them you're able to get college credit! The staff for the most part seems to care a lot about the students and they love their jobs.
However, I think Lake Braddock needs to work on supporting sports teams more, primarily girls sports teams. Also, the administration needs ways to combat vaping, which is a big problem at Lake Braddock.
