I have two children that attend lake forest and I feel the principal and her staff are wonderful. They are very caring and will do anything to help your child succeed. They have a wonderful academic program, for instance the 5th grade college, also the ace program is wonderful. I applaud all the teachers and staff members there because they go above and beyond. The only thing that disappoints me is that there is not enough parent involvement in the pto, sac, and saf meetings. Parents wake up and get involved in what is going on at your childs school!

Thanks to all the teachers and staff of Special Education. Also want to congratulate Mrs. Mack (kindergarden) is the best! Thanks to All the Staff. Is the Best School!

Before sending your child to this school I suggest that you spend more than a few days observing in various classrooms and in the hallways, especially after school. students are treated with hostility by the adult staff including the principal. there is a lot of yelling, degrading comments and public humiliation of all students. the reigning philosophy seems to be motivation by fear. the principal is very confrontational and unsupportive of her staff and parents.

'Both my children have gone to Lake Forest after move from Miramar Elementary. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled as the smart or dumb kids. On Miramar, they have problems of comprension. They feel happiest on Lake Forest because receive more attention from his teachers and they understand them better than the other school. Thank you for bringing out the best in my children and giving them the encouragement and confidence they need to go out into the world! '

I went to Lake Forest Elementary from Kindergarten until Fifth grade. Lake Forest was the first school that I ever went to. Everyone was sooo nice. I realy enjoyed the school and the teachers are the best. It was really easy to talk to any of the teachers and even the principal knew me. Whenever she would see me she would say hi to me by my name and everything. All the teachers knew me and i'm glad that i went to that school. Now I am going into the 8th grade and I have learned a lot. So thanks =0)
