There is no doubt about South Lakes being a wonderful school. It’s under a lot of changes and it looks better and better each day. But one of the things that everyone talks about and criticizes our school for, is that there is a lot of gang related topics. It hurts to know that our school is under that type of criticism. I haven’t heard of one single school that hasn’t had a fight. All schools have to deal with those types of problems. The students always have problems and in highs school, there’s what you call “drama.” Every teenager goes through it and we all have to understand that.
The staff, students, and everyone that is involved with South Lakes are wonderful people, aside from what everyone else says. Every student needs an education and problems will be faced at all times. One student says, “We are being judged by a few specific people, not as the school as a whole.” Under any circumstances, we are a great school and everyone that attends South Lakes knows that.
