An update to my thoughts regarding Lakeview Academy. Last school year they altered how they were…read moreteaching middle school math and moved it from a daily lesson to every other day. I went to back to school night yesterday and found out that they have completely done away with allowing a child to advance to a higher math class. This is supposed to be a STEM school, you would think that they would allow advancement with M being Math in STEM. Their reasoning behind doing away with it was other kids felt left out and that they were not as smart as the other kids. Look, I am not trying to be rude or anything, but don't punish those kids who are exceling in a subject. My son now has to repeat 5th grade math (He took that last year while in 4th grade). This only puts more strain on the teachers as these kids will not be challenged in class. When my son was in 2nd grade he would get his math done so quickly and work ahead to the point that the teachers would get upset with him. Then he would get in trouble for working ahead or talking in class. This only does disservice to those children. What frustrates me the most is they knew they were doing away with this program and sprung it on me when I asked if his new teacher was the one teaching advanced math. Now I am trying to decide if I should move schools. Lakeview is not what it used to be, I no longer recommend the school.

The 4-5 year old class has a stellar program for learning to read. My youngest starts Kindergarten today and is reading at a 1st grade level. I'm almost worried she's too far ahead of her peers! The only drawback to the school is the parking situation, the lot is just too small for the number of cars arriving at the same time. I understand they don't have a lot of control over that and we learned how to work with it. I recommend Learning Dynamics based on our experience!

If I could give zero stars, I would…read more My son started attending this location in 2024. On his second day, I received a message from his teacher stating that he was disrupting nap time, being noisy, and causing other issues. I understood that adjusting to a new environment can be difficult for young children, so I took their concerns seriously and worked with my son to reinforce quiet time. However, I continued receiving messages from his teacher daily, and it reached the point where I was anxiously anticipating another complaint. One day, I noticed his nap blanket was covered in leaves, as if he had been outside. When I asked him, he told me that he did his "quiet time" outside. When we inquired about this, the school denied it. Later, I was called into a meeting with the behavioral technician, Jessica Triptow. At the time, I had no idea about her legal troubles (you can google it) but in hindsight, knowing she was involved in my child's education is deeply unsettling. During the meeting, we were advised to enroll our son full-time to help him adjust to the routine. He was later moved to another class with a more patient teacher. During another meeting, I had the opportunity to review the classroom cameras and witnessed a disturbing incident where a teacher forcefully picked up a child who refused to go inside after playtime and dropped him roughly. Thankfully, the child was not an infant, but it was still highly concerning. Eventually, the school suggested that my son be evaluated for possible autism this recommendation was made by Jessica Triptow (which by the way, made it to the news for very disturbing reasons, you can google it) Shortly after, we were informed that he could not return unless we provided a classroom "shadow" at our own expense, so basically paying another person to do their job . This entire experience was frustrating, stressful, and deeply disappointing. In retrospect, I am relieved that we decided to remove our child from this location. I have since spoken to other parents who shared similar concerns about this center. While I hope other locations uphold higher standards, I cannot in good conscience recommend this one. I initially had high expectations, but unfortunately, our experience was nothing like what we had hoped for. Another shady thing is that they hide their google reviews, I guess I should've seen those red flags.

We were greatly blessed moving into a neighborhood close to this school and by the grace of God our children got in at the right time. Before each school year starts, each teacher reaches out to the parents and makes house calls - a visit to the child's home to meet the parents in person, give them the curriculum, expectations, and guidelines the children are supposed to have so the parents and children know the teacher's expectation throughout the school year. The teachers also give parents their contact info so the parents can easily connect with the teacher at anytime. I mean, what school can you say, that teachers come to your house and makes a personal visit to connect with the family directly? I do not know of any except this school. In addition, this school only has one class per grade - one class of kinder, one class of first grade, etc. The ratio of teacher to children is around 20 to 1. They keep the size of class small so they can keep the class intimate. They also have a therapist on staff for students' mental and emotional health! They keep the students actively reading all year long by having "battle of the books" per grade and have awesome incentives. Julie, the principal, is a "go-getter" and treats all of her students like they are her own. You can feel the love of JHCS staff for each student, and each student is known by their name. It truly is a second family. Besides all of the great things I already mentioned, JHCS is ranked #1 Best Public Elementary Schools in the area and has a grade of "A" in overall niche grade!

What I don't like is when working here as a sweeper, you're treated like trash by the principal, Carla. She had no authority over the sweepers, and our boss kept telling us to not listen to anything the teachers say with complaints. He knew we were getting our job done. The principal constantly picked on me and was told that I was terrible at what I was doing. She then pulled me aside one day to tell me to quit or she'll fire me. So I quit. She then texted my boss that I quit, her actions shocked my friends and former coworkers. Especially because my boss was sad and confused about why I "quit." He expressed that to my friends, and they told me. After I left, my friend started getting targeted by Carla, telling her the same things she told me. My friend is quitting today because of how awful the principal has been. Carla has zero respect for what the sweepers do, as well as bullying us. My grandparents were sweepers, and they told me the same thing. The teachers and principals have zero respect for what we do. If you want to complain, do the job yourself. We don't have to work here and pick up after you, especially when a principal bullies and picks on two 17-year-old girls who are tired of the disrespect from the principal.
