Truly one of the best schools in the area. Very kind teachers and staff who have gone over and above with the students especially during the pandemic. This is a more advanced school, and is excellent for students with the desire to work in engineering. (Side note- The three reviews in 2018 seem to be regarding a student who did not get accepted after applying.)

Teachers work 1:1 with students even though the classes are full. The teachers are knowledgeable, get the students engaged in the subject and have a strong interest in their success.

Prepares the students for college and real life. To be successful here students need to be self-motivated, just like real life.

Students are held to high standards, but treated as individuals. There's a high degree of mutual respect, more like a college than a typical high school.

Outstanding academics, caring teachers, and a unique approach. This is not a school for everyone, but self-motivated students will go further, faster here than any other school in the district, perhaps in the state. My child will graduate with a more than a year of college credit, and is getting scholarship offers from top universities.

Lakeview is simply the absolute best school in every aspect in Kenosha County and has to be one of the best in the country. Mr. Hitman, the principal is truly one of kind educator who cares passionately about each and every student at Lakeview, he is dedicated beyond what is called for in a principal, committed to excellence in academics in every way. What principal do you know prepares healthy breakfasts for his students on the morning of important tests. My son loves the school and is learning so much, we could not have made a better choice in schooling and we were fortunate to be able to get our son at Lakeview. If you are serious about education, plain and simple, there is no better school than lakeview.

Lakeview has a wonderful learning environment, because it has both teachers and students that care about learning. the kids here care a lot more about learning than at the other public schools in our district.

LakeView Technology Academy is a great school for everyone regardless of your potential clique. The school offers so much to its students, and the staff is outstanding. At LakeView, the students experience small class sizes, interactive learning, and real-life examples of what a job might entail. The small class sizes allow for the teachers to connect with the students better and further the learning experience. Through the three tracks (biomedical, engineering, and information technology), students not only learn beyond the expected, but apply it to the unexpected. The real-life examples further a student's education because it creates a seriousness to the fun learning. LakeView, not only allows anyone to fit into all groups, but allows the students to define the personality of the school. Although many know LakeView as a 'nerdy' school, it really isn't. There are people of all cliques at the school. The staff also play a large part in the learning and great experience. A day is never dull at LakeView. Overall, LakeView is truly the experience in the high school experience.

This school is absolutely amazing. Having transferred to Lakeview from another KUSD school, the change is refreshing. I'm for the most part surrounded by intelligent kids who actually care about learning. My teachers are all highly competent. All my classes are challenging and actually interesting, and I've already learned a substantial amount in just one quarter. Transferring here was definitely the best decision I've made in awhile.

This school was wonderful for my 2nd son who was planning on being an Engineer but decided the liked the BioMed better so now he wants to be doctor. The staff is wonderful and has called me personally with concerns. My 3rd son is attending now. His WKCE test scores were excellent which I attribute to the excellent preparation. My sons did/are participating in Orchestra. You can tell that these are some of the most motivated students in the district because the Orchestra teachers have all told me these are the best students they have. Having peers who care so much about their academic performance as my boys do really motivated them. My older son was also well prepared for AP tests and was able to save us a significant amount of tuition by passing those test. I would really recommend it for any child who excels in Math and Science.

I personally love this school. The teachers here are amazing, most have masters degrees. It's a technology school so most of the information we're learning is actually useful. multiple people have complained about things like the walls, they are fine, i actually prefer it. I don't feel like I'm trapped in the room. We don't have a library but that isn't a ig deal because our home schools do. we can also take a language or art class at our home school if we choose. We can also participate at sports there. We are also given the privwelie to use our personal laptops off of the network which is great!
