Lake Elementary is a wonderful school! I have a second grader and a kindergartener. All the teachers we've had have been wonderful. Lake is one of the few schools in Vista Unified that have a music program, run by the amazing Mrs. Corso. She is such a huge asset to this school. The school has a very active PTA, which funds some awesome events throughout the year. Trunk-or-Treat was a huge success this year, along with Read-a-thon. The PTA also sponsors several clubs throughout the year. My boys have LOVED run club this year! The administration is very engaged and supportive of teachers, staff, students, and parents. I am so happy to be a part of the Lake community.

We love Lake elementary and are really happy our son is attending the school. We were unsure what to expect after seeing a few negative reviews, but since there weren't many and those were from several years ago we wanted to try Lake out for ourselves and are so happy we did . We had recently bought a home in the area and enrolled our son here. Based on our son's age he was supposed to go into 1st grade, but in his old district he had just completed TK. We set up a meeting with the school to have our son placed in Kinder instead. We were very pleased with the whole process and after a meeting with the new principal she approved our son's enrollment into kindergarten instead. Our son absolutely loves his kindergarten class and his teacher. She is sweetest woman, has abundant energy and has been teaching at Lake over 20 years. The teachers, administration and pta have been very communicative and do an excellent job keeping the parents up to date on what's going on with the school. This year Lake received a new principal and assistant principal and we couldn't be happier. They are hands on and eager to make Lake the best school for our kids and it is clear that they really care. They have been proactive at making improvements in many aspects, including efficient drop offs, increasing extra curricular activities, focusing on best practices for testing and curriculum, educating students on emotional intelligence as well as academics, and most of all keeping the campus a safe place for the students amidst the pandemic so that the school can remain safely open. We are very pleased with Lake Elementary school and it has exceeded our expectations (even in comparison to our previous district which was Poway unified last year). We would definitely recommend!

Great school excellent teachers.  My son has gone here every year since kinder and loves it.  The traffic in the morning and afternoon is a challenge, but using the park for drop off and pickup has helped.  It's been a great learning environment with good opportunities to volunteer.  The music programs and choir have been excellent.
