GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As of right now I am a junior at Lakeland Junior/Senior Highschool. So far, my experiences have been good as my teachers have been super nice to me, and our programs are pretty good. I would like to see more of the administration helping students, as I see a lot of kids struggling due to teachers not helping them/working to their fullest potential.

Not a terrible school but you get out what you put into it. If you take the AP/honor track, you'll be set up for success. However, if you choose basic courses you will have a hard time excelling.

My experience during Lakeland has been beyond amazing. I have made many friends and learned a lot. What I learned is if you make the most of your school it will be great. I loved how close the Lakeland community is and how we are so supportive of others. Also, I love the teachers I had and how I could make many friends so easily. One thing I would like to see changed is the resource we have. I feel as if Lakeland doesn't have as many as other schools do.
