Lakota MS is a fantastic Middle school.  The principle is amazing and has the highest standards for her teachers and staff.  My kids, nieces and nephews and kids of close friends have attended Lakota and all have come away with a top notch education.  Lakota has one of thie highest academic ratings in the district.  My kids have had great experiences at Lakota and have enjoyed thier time there.  Lakota is a great school.

I belive Lakota middle school to not meet the requirements any school should make. There are problems with the dress code because it impinges on students freedom of speech. The general schooling is not very good. I belive students would be better off going to Illahee or FWPA. I would not reccoment the advanced program Cambridge either. The class dicipline I have seen is very poor. The dress code should definitly be reconsidered. all and all not a wonderfull school.

Lakota has oppresive administration and a strict dress code which is vauge and impingis on students rights. Overall I would not reccomend this school at all. The teachers for the Cambrige "Rigorous" Prgram are horrible. The classes that are offered are not intresting. Athletics are usualy terrible. The wrestliig team took second for the first time this year and everything else failed. To top It all off the mascot is a smelly falcon suit and the school has basiccly no spirit whatsoever. If you are In lakotas service area choice enroll to another school. Your child will come out knowing less than when they came in.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
