School Reviews

Lake Stevens is a Great Middle School, with lots of caring and compassionate teachers. I am a parent and teacher, and this is a great school with lots to offer. The Administrative staff is excellent at caring for the students and families as well as their staff members. At a time when public schools are losing their students to charter and private school brands, I am hoping that Lake Stevens will stand and grow. This school has a lot to offer.
