In quoting a parent at this school. "My 12-year-old daughter was in a physical altercation at Lake Middle School in Denver, Co. After I previously came up to the school last Friday for racial discrimination urging teachers to have a meeting with the students.This eventually lead to a fight.The Administrator at this school did not break the fight up properly. He grabbed my child by her hair ripping out over 10 braids in her head leaving her bald. He is now on administrative leave.This is what my childs head looked like before and now after this incident. He has admitted to it and put on administrative leave.I went down to the police station District 1 in Denver, Co and proceeded to press charges and I still have not been able to only recieved a incident report. Please help get my story heard. Fb deleted my original post but I will continue to share." read more

Lake Middle School is an amazing school with lots of supportive and caring educators. This school really cares about their kids, and they're always finding ways as to how they can improve the school culture. I'm a former City Year AmeriCorps member that has personally experienced hands-on the love that these teachers have for their students. They provide many different opportunities for their students, and they really focus on building great relationships with them. The leadership in this school is very organized, and they are always finding new and innovating ways to get their students involved in different activities, clubs and sports. This school is in an underprivileged community and a lot of the students have been through trauma. However, they provide a LOT of resources for the students and their families to make sure they feel safe and supported at all times. They also have one of the best restorative justice teams in Denver, which is great because that just means that they're helping our future generation take personal accountability for their actions in a way that doesn't belittle them but instead empowers them. Overall, I really love Lake Middle School, and I would definitely place my kids at this school if I had any as I know they truly value education and believe in the potential of every single one of their students. read more

I'm confused about the mixed reviews for this school. My eldest attends and both her and I think the staff and system are wonderful. The teachers are realistic and encouraging, and I plan in sending my youngest, who requires special needs, and I am VERY choosy about what she's exposed to, and specific about her educationAl experience. I'm impressed with the curriculum and the extracurricular choices and it really seems like the people who work here actually care about the kids and enjoy what they do, you can see it on their faces and in the students. read more
