We are going on our 7th school year with our family at Lakeshore Elementary. The principal is amazing. He truly cares about the students and teachers. The kids love him and he’s super involved. The school is now a STEM school, which everyone worked super hard to earn. The teachers are great and you can tell they have a passion for teaching. Close Quote
