It fills me with a great sense of pride to have been named principal of such a high achieving school that offers so many opportunities for our students. Since 1990, our school has worked closely with the community to provide a quality educational experience that goes beyond academic success and strives to enrich the lives of our families in many different ways. Having been a part of the school since 1999 as a third grade teacher, I can say without hesitation that the combined efforts of our fine staff, excellent students and supportive parents have made Lake Forest School one of the top elementary sites in El Dorado county and the surrounding region. 

 

Through the years, many changes have taken place but the level of success we have enjoyed has remained constant. Lake Forest began as a 160 student starter school and grew to as large as 815 students on a multi-track year round schedule, before moving back to a traditional calendar in 2003 with a current enrollment of about 600. 

 

Despite the ongoing changes we have experienced over the past 19 years, the achievement of our students has always been high. Our learning community has always centered on providing a superior education for students. Although we are proud that our Academic Performance Index (API) scores are consistently among the best in the state, we are always looking for ways to improve on programs, facilities and partnerships with the community to create an even more effective learning environment that all of our students deserve. 

 

Lake Forest is a fantastic place for students to grow and we are constantly looking for ways to more fully prepare them for the future. We look forward to working with you to continue to create a school culture that respects and develops the potential within all children.
