Overall, Lakeside Elementary is a great school in my opinion. They recently got a new Principal, Mrs. Kathy May and she is phenomenal! I believe the teachers that work at this school are awesome as well. The teachers do their best to help their students succeed. They try their very hard to meet students individual needs as best as they can. I've had nothing but positive experiences since my kids attended here, and I've had 3. I'm glad I gave Lakeside an opportunity to educate and teach my kids. The staff in the office are amazing and willing to assist in any way possible. I'm a very difficult and petty as you must call it, person to please and deal with, and this school have met my child's educational needs further than expected! Close Quote
