Outstanding school with great teachers and tons of resources for all levels. We are in our 3rd year and the school counties to achieve great results and improve Year over year. The staff is super supportive and have great school programs to support the kids. Athletics, STEM Program, clubs and social community events are always part of what makes this school special. Teachers are prepared to teach and give great feedback and available when needed. I have nothing but positive experiences with the staff, deans and teachers. Keep the great work Lake Knights you are all doing great things and there for the right reasons! The Kids!

Unfortunately, the leadership in this school is very poor, a school where the principal does not give importance to what deserves importance is not a place for our children, the leadership at Lake should be evaluated because it could cause damage to our children with the lack of leadership and attention to cases that can end badly. The school is a place where our kids should feel safe, protected and supported and Lake isn't that place. Lake education system face declining levels of academic achievement because the lack of effectiveness from the leadership

This school's lack of confidence to provide a safe school without fighting is ridiculous. There's one child The runs the school she can do anything and everything she wants in the school has 0 regard or consequences for this individual. They just constantly blame it on her. IEP and there's nothing we can do our hands Are tide

Our family has had an incredible experience at Lake. From admin to teachers and Deans, they have all been amazing for the community and for my family. They put a huge emphasis on cultural and neighborhood pride as well as providing opportunities to our children who have found their passions through sports and the arts that are available.The Denver DJ School and the athletic program had had a huge impact on our 3 daughter's school experience.We are a proud Lake family!

so glad my kid does not attend any more. school is all about how it looks and not what it does for kids. the 'deans' are inadequate and have no degrees i am sure of it. they only want to be friends with kids and do not discipline. the principal lets her kids run around the school. my kid used to complain about the principal's crying kids while she was trying to take a test. loud music pumping in the halls when poor kids have sensitivities. again, i would not reccomend this place. it is a glorified dj school/boys and girls club.

The Dean of the school has abused one of the children, ripping the braise out of her scalp and nothing effective enough has been done to rectify the situation such as jail time.

this school is a bullying disaster and the other students are disrespectful. Also they have no effective change on the kids behaviors even though they have a bunch of talks about and the kids are very racist to other children mostly against white kids - review by student

Lake International has been a wonderful experience for our 6th grader. She came from a dual language school where she had a strong Spanish background and Lake has been able to support her Spanish level by offering a fantastic advanced Spanish literacy class. In addition, she is in honors math and literacy classes, is part of the YESS mentoring program, has art, gym and technology (as do all students) and is part of this wonderful community located right on Sloan's Lake. We choiced out of our neighborhood school (Skinner) into Lake because it was the right fit for our daughter and both programs are wonderful neighborhood schools in NW Denver. I strongly encourage all parents/students to check out Lake as it is a real gem in our neighborhood.
