Lakeridge Elementary School Reviews

My son attended kindergarten and is now in first grade. Both teachers are excellent and my son loves to go school. Great PTA and lots of after school clubs for the kids. My husband and I feel this school is better than any private school in the area.

This is a solid community based school with a highly motivated base of students and parents. Teacher quality is however mixed and building leadership is poor. Dispite this the students on balance score very well and come to school well equipted, ready to learn and strongly supported by parents and the community.

Lakeridge is a wonderful neighborhood school. There is a very high level of parent involvement and the teachers on the whole are excellent. There is a wide range of extracurricular activities and everyone has art and music.

A public school with a high-achieving family base, Lakeridge is the southernmost school of the Mercer island School District. It draws from single family homes. Teaching quality has been good overall. Our needs were not met because until recently there were no gifted programs but the district recently started one. Music is excellent, and a wide variety of sports (including beginning lacrosse) are available. Parent involvement is high and so are parent expectations. Great facility.

The teachers are very dedicated. I have been very impressed too by the PTA who is most certainly intereted in bringing a wide variety of experiences to all grade levels. There are lots of field trips and art experiences. The setting of the campus is so beautiful, near tall trees, lots of space for outdoor recreation.

It is the best school on Mercer Island. It has a great math team, great test scores, and appropiate challenges for everyone. There is a student council. The science curriculum is very good.
