Lakeside is not for the fainthearted. I attended the school from the 5th-12th grade. The academics are of course top notch and prepare you well for college courses, but you should study HARD to keep up everything. Fortunately, teachers are more than accommodating and open to meeting with students during their free time. It is all too common to walk into the math office during any hour and see teachers helping students with homework, test/quiz corrections, etc. You must take the initiative to do well at Lakeside, though. You can't be embarrassed to ask questions when you're confused. Sensitivity has no place in the classroom, or at Lakeside in general. The school has a very competitive atmosphere- particularly when applying for colleges. That being said, students are mostly amicable. Sports are big Lakeside, and we generally do well.
Review Lakeside School
Lakeside has been an amazing community to be a part of. The families and students are the best of the best. My oldest child attended the Upper School and graduated in 2017 and had the time of her life at Lakeside. She was involved in sports and drama and student leadership and made the most of her years at the school. She loved it and is excited to be a part of the very active alumni group. My youngest child is in the middle school and knows the academic challenges will be many. He understands the opportunity that being a part of this community offers is worth the hard work. The teachers and coaches are caring and accessible. The expectations are high and the kids strive to live up to them. The campus has excellent security and a wonderful location and many modern facilities. They provide the best and newest in technology and theory. The whole environment really elevates students to be the best versions of themselves.
The school has treated me well, overall, but there are absolutely aspects of the Lakeside experience that I feel are more detrimental than helpful to the student body. Much of those aspects I feel are perpetuated more by culture among the student body than anything else.
