This is the best school out of all the Garland ISD school district.

It's the best school ever compared to brandenburg middle school, colors make a good fit, patriots sounds perfect for the school, the art reminds me of frys electronics, flags add a lot to the design, even this brown tone of wall in the entrance, but mostly, this school makes a whole big view you can see, it's even next to texas skatium, which is one of my favorite places! 5/5+ for the entire school!

It is not the worst school in the world, but it is not the best either. Out of the other Garland schools Lakeview would be my third choice. The fine arts are really what excells at Lakeview. Howeever, our football team is tied for first in the district this year. Some teachers are really good, but most aren't. The new administration is working to fix that with a new teacher mentoring each other program. The school is old and it looks old, and sometimes it smells old. It is not bad I am proud to call it my high school.
