Hi everyone,

I am considering a move to the Kentlands/Lakelands area next year. My daughter will be a rising 6th grader and if plans work out, she would be attending Lakelands Park Middle School next Fall. I share the concerns that most parents likely have regarding their child's transition to middle school. However, I have additional worries about her starting anew at the beginning of middle school.

Can anyone who has had direct experiences with Lakelands Park Middle School comment on or provide insight with regard to opportunities for children to get involved, engagement of the teachers and of course, safety? I know every school has it's issues but am also curious about bullying and violence within the school. Again, understand that unfortunately these days it's close to impossible to find a middle school without occurrences of violence or bullying but looking for general insights and thoughts on if parents feel safe sending their children there.

I'd also like to relocate before or at the beginning of summer so that my daughter will have some opportunity to participate in activities leading up to the start of middle school in an effort to make some acquaintances. Any welcoming groups or activities that you would recommend?

Thanks in advance for your input. I really appreciate it![/quote]

It is quite a cliquish area with a lot of mid 40’s first time moms trying to cling to their youth. Not the friendliest and have convinced themselves that they are the Real Housewives of the Kentlands. I would try somewhere else. [/quote]
