    I loved teaching at the preschool, but the owner and management are a huge problem. They work you…read moreto death, very little vacation time, no personal days. no benefits, and absolutely no raises even if you work for many years. There's favoritism. The greed of the owner is absolutely unreal and doesn't show any care. He's not approachable or friendly either. The environment is very old and poor working conditions that didn't improve. Theres little support as a teacher, lots of gossip, playing on phones, unprofessionalism, no confidentially w/management, little appreciation, and no opportunity to advance. There's barely any parking and a system that allows no communication between parents and teachers. Parents had never met their children's teacher after months. Very sad. I didn't get the support I needed working here. I did accomplish some professional & personal growth.

    First off this isn't a School! This is a Daycare where you can bring your child/children anytime of…read morethe day . There's no structure! Only playtime in a few rooms that is . The Director claims there's a cut off time but there is not! Protocol isn't followed at all . Management sucks and that's because of the Director she lack at being a Boss and taking ownership . In fact she has other employees telling other employees what to do causing tension . And the one giving orders walks around all day hanging in the office talking about other employees and it's with the Director because she engages in it . She doesn't have your back at all because she talks about you as well . I've witnessed her several times about other employees. If she was replaced this business would be operated correctly . So many people including myself have left behind her Horrible management skills and horrible communication skills . She cares more about having friendships with her employees than setting the tone for the school . The reviews for this school are true especially the ones speaking on the director and the management. There's favoritism there's racism and so much drama ! And the way some teachers handle the children isn't Good at all . There frustration gets the best of them . Management will not inform you of changes until the last minute leaving things very chaotic. I've had several people tell me she was racist but I had to see it for myself and she is !! The owner of this business is all anout his self. Raises are hardly given and the way he presents his self is very unprofessional. Money is all he cares about but his hard working employees don't get appreciated . He hardly ever speaks unless he's spoken to. Rude and uncaring is what he is ! He has no knowledge of his employees unless it's coming from the Director . All of the owners schools have bad reviews especially about poor management and unfairness . I don't recommend this Daycare at all ! The tours are all a front . Nothing happens the way it's presented to you. This place is highly unprofessional and anyone lacking experience is hired and thrown anywhere just to fill that spot . The good thing about this job is you would always have a job because she's afraid to fire anyone she rather give chance after chance . I could go on and on about why not to come to this place but It would take hours to do so. The previous review about cameras mysteriously not working is absolutely true for some reason the bad things always get erased or told the cameras aren't working! Please keep that in mind because there's definitely cameras that works. The director and her sidekick watch it all the time . I hope my review helps some or all save themselves time on checking out this Daycare ! Thanks

    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.

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 baby feels safe, we as a family feel safe when our baby is at school. The campus is beyond secure, everyone knows everybody. I am not sure how they do it, but it is done. We love our FBA family!
