We are so grateful to all of the teachers and administrators here at BA. My daughter started at BA this past year as a Junior. It is not always easy at a new school, especially when you are in high school. Her experience has been beyond what we could have imagined. She is flourishing and there are so many activities and clubs to get involved in. I could not say enough about this amazing school. #gocougars

Our family has been truly blessed to be part of this school community. My daughter has attended…read morethis private Christian-based school since Pre-K 4, and she is now in 9th grade -- that alone speaks volumes about the trust and confidence we have in this school. From day one, we have been treated like family, not just another number. The staff, teachers, and leadership genuinely care about each student's academic growth, character development, and spiritual foundation. They take the time to know the students personally and partner with parents every step of the way. The sense of community here is unmatched. The values being taught align with what we reinforce at home, and the love, encouragement, and structure my daughter receives have helped shape her into a confident, respectful, and well-rounded young lady. We are incredibly grateful for the dedication, faith, and consistency this school provides. If you're looking for a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child is truly supported and valued, I cannot recommend this school enough.

I cannot wait to see what our high school year brings! The academics is beyond amazing, the entire staff cares as if the students are their own kids!

My two children are thriving at Lakehill. They have been enrolled six years now. My junior in high…read moreschool son and ninth grade daughter have learned many valuable social, emotional, athletic, and certainly educational lessons. Moving them from Lamplighter was very timely as they were craving structured environments that had rigorous academics. I am thrilled that they have been able to pursue their passions - including theater, sports, volunteerism, so many clubs, and leadership opportunities. Don't let the small class size fool you, it is a blessing! There are tons of opportunities for growth and they encourage the students to shine based on their own merits. Contrary to that negative yelp post from way too many years ago (P.S. You can't blame a child's drug habit on the school. That's called observant & disciplined parenting), the administration keeps a close eye on the students and alerts the parents quickly to concerns or behavior shifts. I can confidently say that we have parented in partnership with the school to raise smart, respectful, creative, athletic, well-balanced students. And Lakehill's focus on college prep is indeed a strength. The college counselor Ms. Dondis is a highly acclaimed professional - even a sought after expert speaker in her field. We specifically looked at Lakehill because it offered nondenominational education with so many opportunities in a nurturing, structured environment with a solid academic track record. 5 Stars for great academics, sports, a great community of involved parents,and a caring administration!

My 7th grade nephew currently attends this school, and he has since he started kindergarten. He is…read morevery happy to go to school, participate in sports and service projects, and make and keep what are sure to be long time friendships, all of which are long term benefits of a smaller, private school education. I feel as though he is a mature, respectful, well-prepared middler who I expect to achieve a very sold, college readiness experience. In terms of technology, the school does use lots - iPads, laptops, labs..... fairly typical of what I expect from a school such as this. The most important part of my observation is that he is happy and likes to go to school. I'm impressed. When I lived and taught in Dallas, I had no idea what this school was until a colleague left my school to teach there. That was 1997 - and he is STILL THERE! Since then another friend left his school to teach there. At this point it got my attention. Then they hired a marketing director, and the school started appearing more and more in the paper - like a LOT. Service projects became popular and a mainstay, and it was clear there was a strategic plan executed that included some serious "play," which has paid off; all of these things, my nephew participated in. It's a best kept secret for sure. From a community member perspective, living in the Lakewood area was a good experience, and I was able to participate in their fund raisers (Trek For Tech, among others), even though I didn't have kids in the school. Overall, if you are looking for a private school, you may be immediately enamored with the "big 5 (St. Marks, Cistercian, ESD, Hockaday, and Ursuline), and there are HUGE merits to each of them, but Lakehill prep is not to be missed.

Woodrow works wonders. It serves a population which goes from the children of doctors, lawyers and…read moreother post-grad professionals to those whose parents didn't finish school in Mexico. This mix is unique, you won't find it at other schools. The social skills and friendships formed are as impressive as the academics. Speaking of that, The Dallas Morning News recently published that Woodrow is #1 in academic gains in Dallas. The school was redesigned three years ago into four college prep academies which offer AP and IB (International Baccalaureate). Woodrow and its feeder, J. L. Long Middle School, are the only two IB schools in Dallas. Transfers for those out of the attendance zone are available with applications starting in January. Unlike DISD magnets, Woodrow offers the full range of athletic and extracurricular activities. It is the quintessential American high school experience. The Lakewood area is a bit like a small town and many generations have attended the school resulting in many traditions and an extensive alumni network. My only gripe would be that the principal, going into his third year, is a little to strict on spirit and pep rallies. He does attend most sporting events, however. Overall, it's a great school and a true oasis of education in DISD.

International Baccalaureate curriculum has been offered since the school was approved as an IB candidate and should be accredited after a site visit from IBO in Geneva, Switzerland this fall. Long offers two sections of Mandarin Chinese and is the only middle school in Dallas where students can start on their high school language requirements. The high school, Woodrow Wilson, has been an IB World School since 2011. Long has always had strong math and science teams and beat St. Mark's several years ago in a regional competition. They did very well at state this year and one student placed tops in the state science fair (a separate competition). It's also known for its music program, which earns top scores in regional competition and produces its own original musical each year for almost 30 years running... The regional school for the deaf is here also, and although only a small part of the school, most students end up learning sign language. Where else can you do that? The building just received over six million in bond renovations. Many of the historic features were restored. It received a sixth grad wing in the last bond program in 2006. More could be done, but I'm sure the active Lakewood parents will see to that, they are renowned for their ability to get things done. Some parents seem to be a bit freaked that there is a large contingent of economically disadvantaged students (along with some very rich ones) but they usually adjust quickly and see that this is an important aspect of their child's education. In fall 2013, fewer disadvantaged children will be attending the school because of a boundary change. Let's hope it does not get too yuppie-fied as is most of East Dallas these days!
