    My nieces attend Couch Elementary. I love the Leadership. Mrs. Hill is outstanding and has a true…read morepassion for students. My 5th grade niece has been enrolled since she first started school and has always excelled. My nieces lost their mom and 1 year old brother in the North Texas storm. This has been a major life change for the girls. The principal Mrs. Hill and my niece teachers showed up to the homegoing service to express their condolences. The school had been a huge support. The girls live with my husband and I in McKinney. Garland ISD transportation has made arrangements to pick up and drop off girls to our Mckinney home until the end of the school year to assist in some sort of normalcy. The transportation guy was a retired Pastor and loved the girls and they loved him as well. Hill also gifted my husband and I with books to help with grieving and raising. One of the books is called 5 love languages of Kids. I'm blown away by the support and love. We are so grateful.

    My daughter went to school at Couch 7 years ago and her teachers, Mrs. Richie and Mrs. Tori were…read moregreat. The principal, Mrs. Hill was amazing. They were open-minded to get to know their students. Soon after my 5-year-old daughter was the only one in her class who knew how to read. So I registered my 5-year-old son here this year and so far it's been a disaster. Because he has speech delay and ADHD and therefore, he's behind in development compared to other kids of the same age. However, his academic test score in Pre-K was high enough that he was not qualified for special-ed. I understand that a slow kid can be too much for a regular school, mainstream teacher who has 9 other kids in the classroom to handle but she didn't need to be totally cruel and hateful. There's constructive critique and advice with compassion that in the best interest of all 3 parties, she would recommend my child to be in a special-ed classroom setting like I, as a general dentist would recommend a child patient with severe dental anxiety to see a pediatrist. But here was an adult's (a teacher's, nevertheless) pure bashing a 5-year-old child non-stop for 30 minutes straight to his parents on the first parent-teacher conference meeting after she had already demanded him to be transferred out of her class without a heads up to us as parents. She went on and on about petty things like he (accidentally) spilled his cereal to him not understanding "scoot over." I'd be embarrassed doing so about any child because it speaks volume about my character rather than the kid's. She confidently and loudly stated: "He is not able to learn." Tell that to a kid's parents! That could break anyone's heart and induce endless fear and worry about their child's future. Good thing is that my son's neurologist ,who's Rx'ing ADHD medicine for him had already told me: "You can't diagnose a kid being intellectual disable or not until the age of 8 at the earliest." All and all, the school is not bad but this teacher's abundance of hatred and anger in her heart has diminished some positive aspects about this school. I was very sad to see this kind of character in a school teacher. I hope to see more kindness and patience from the special-ed teachers or I'll transfer my son to a private school albeit it's a long commute and it will deprive him from growing up in real life environment with kids of different social and financial backgrounds.

    My two children are thriving at Lakehill. They have been enrolled six years now. My junior in high…read moreschool son and ninth grade daughter have learned many valuable social, emotional, athletic, and certainly educational lessons. Moving them from Lamplighter was very timely as they were craving structured environments that had rigorous academics. I am thrilled that they have been able to pursue their passions - including theater, sports, volunteerism, so many clubs, and leadership opportunities. Don't let the small class size fool you, it is a blessing! There are tons of opportunities for growth and they encourage the students to shine based on their own merits. Contrary to that negative yelp post from way too many years ago (P.S. You can't blame a child's drug habit on the school. That's called observant & disciplined parenting), the administration keeps a close eye on the students and alerts the parents quickly to concerns or behavior shifts. I can confidently say that we have parented in partnership with the school to raise smart, respectful, creative, athletic, well-balanced students. And Lakehill's focus on college prep is indeed a strength. The college counselor Ms. Dondis is a highly acclaimed professional - even a sought after expert speaker in her field. We specifically looked at Lakehill because it offered nondenominational education with so many opportunities in a nurturing, structured environment with a solid academic track record. 5 Stars for great academics, sports, a great community of involved parents,and a caring administration!

    My 7th grade nephew currently attends this school, and he has since he started kindergarten. He is…read morevery happy to go to school, participate in sports and service projects, and make and keep what are sure to be long time friendships, all of which are long term benefits of a smaller, private school education. I feel as though he is a mature, respectful, well-prepared middler who I expect to achieve a very sold, college readiness experience. In terms of technology, the school does use lots - iPads, laptops, labs..... fairly typical of what I expect from a school such as this. The most important part of my observation is that he is happy and likes to go to school. I'm impressed. When I lived and taught in Dallas, I had no idea what this school was until a colleague left my school to teach there. That was 1997 - and he is STILL THERE! Since then another friend left his school to teach there. At this point it got my attention. Then they hired a marketing director, and the school started appearing more and more in the paper - like a LOT. Service projects became popular and a mainstay, and it was clear there was a strategic plan executed that included some serious "play," which has paid off; all of these things, my nephew participated in. It's a best kept secret for sure. From a community member perspective, living in the Lakewood area was a good experience, and I was able to participate in their fund raisers (Trek For Tech, among others), even though I didn't have kids in the school. Overall, if you are looking for a private school, you may be immediately enamored with the "big 5 (St. Marks, Cistercian, ESD, Hockaday, and Ursuline), and there are HUGE merits to each of them, but Lakehill prep is not to be missed.
