[edit] Verify this?
"Recently, Lakeside has been recognized in national publications for its students' exceptional SAT scores and high admission rates to top universities. Widely regarded as one of the top college prep schools in the country, it regularly sends up to 25% of its graduating class to Ivy League schools."
In which national publications was Lakeside recognized? By whom is it widely regarded as a top college prep school? Lakeside is widely regarded by some of my friends in Seattle as a snob factory and elitist institution but that doesn't mean it should be in the article. :) --Chinawhitecotton 05:52, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
it was in the new york times two years ago, it was ranked 13th among private schools in the nation for sending college grads to top schools
[edit] number one university for Lakeside graduates?
"The number one university for Lakeside graduates is the University of Washington, the biggest public university in the state."
What exactly does this mean? That more graduates go to the UW than to any other university? If so I think it should be reworded - "number one" implies the best university. Not that the UW is not good.
It would be interesting to find statistics for where all the grads go to college. --Chinawhitecotton 23:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Hey man, check the site. 25% to Ivy League colleges? I think that speaks for itself. --Home-Skilz
[edit] Do you send a child there and/or go there yourself?
You have no right to be talking about which schools are a snob factory if you have not attended them. Didn't get your child in? Sorry but I'm afraid you don't really have an argument. Granted it costs around $20,000 per year. But they offer quite a bit of financial aid. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.103.85.128 (talk) 22:25, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
- I went there. But even if I didn't I would still have a right to say that some people think of the school in a certain way. My only point was that you need to provide evidence for statements. That is why I didn't say that the school was a snob factory in the actual article. So, I think I do have an argument, actually. Did you learn your debate skills at Lakeside?? --Chinawhitecotton 23:55, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Snob Factory? I think not. Lakeside works to promote financial aid, and 24 precent of it's school population is under that program. Hardly a snob factory. When did you go there, Chinawhitecotton? I joined Lakeside 4 years ago, and alumni have told me that Lakeside had worked to reverse the snobbish reputation. Lakeside strives to allow anyone to participate in any school-related activity, regardless of your financial situation.
Alright you have an argument. I phrased it wrong. I ment that your argument wasn't acurate. A different thing I know. If I might ask when did you go there? It has changed alot since Bernie Noe became headmaster.
[edit] Lock this page?
Could someone lock like page or request a lock. Some people have been vandalising it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.231.139.2 (talk) 19:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC).
