Lake Taylor High School owes me for what is on my Facebook page Demetrius Stevenson. The school participated in a modern-day crucifixion That got me put in Virginia Beach Psych in 2012. I graduated in 2011.

I honestly do not like the school Lake Taylor (coming from a student) but everyone's opinions aren't going to be the same. Lake Taylor is un-accredited and hasn't been for the past 5 years, the students make it hard for the teacher to teach because of the amount of disruptive behavior...EVERYDAY, the fights are terrible, and the disrespect is way beyond words. But. There are a FEW positives about Lake Taylor; the sports are ALWAYS #1 in the district (football especially), the NJROTC program is good if you're considering joining the military,and there are a few good teachers here. Other than that, please consider going on zillow.com and start searching for districts that are located near Granby, Maury, or Norview, because this is NOT the prison...I mean the school you want to send your children to. :) Have a nice day!

I agree run the other way! In my opinion there are no Norfolk public schools that are any good!

Run the other way!!! Do not allow your child to go to this school!!! If you can't afford Private School, don't move into this district. Principals and teachers DO NOT CARE!! Teachers will tell the kids they only teach there to get their loans paid off.
