    I attended Lakeside for high school and absolutely loved my experience. The classes are challenging in the best way and each student has access to an amazing support network of teachers, faculty, administrators, counselors, peer tutors and more. The connections I made at Lakeside I know will stay with me throughout the rest of my life and I am extremely proud to be a Lakeside alum . I would highly recommend Lakeside to any student looking for an unforgettable high school experience that prepares you for college and beyond!

    Lakeside is full of opportunities from amazing classes to the GSL program. It struggles in some aspects- mainly its punishment system, the JC. The JC is a group of students that literally determine other students fate, and to make matters worse, the faculty involved are very biased towards people with a lot of money and connections to the school. Lakeside is also lacking in parties and sporting events aren't attended, but I've met amazing friends through Lakeside and feel extremely prepared for college.
    I was at Lakeside School from 6th grade to 12th grade and I feel that those years really shaped me into who I am today. From Lakeside I learned time management skills and how to form relationships with my teachers, who I could tell really loved what they were doing. Of course, I believe there are some things Lakeside could change regarding their diversity and better recognition to the female athletes, but overall I really enjoyed my time at Lakeside.
