Lakehill Preparatory School provides Dallas K-12 students the limitless opportunities they need to excel, and the rich support they need to keep forging ahead.
EDUCATION SHOULDN`T FIT STUDENTS INTO A MOLD-IT SHOULD HELP THEM BREAK IT. Too many students are pushed into a mold, and miss the opportunity to discover their true calling in life.
Too many schools lack the deep relationships needed to support students on their academic journey.
At Lakehill, we focus on empowering students to discover their unique pathways to greatness.

School Notes
Lakehill Preparatory School opened in 1971. What started as a
school inside a church is now a K-12 college prep school with two
campuses.Located in the heart of Lakewood, Lakehill`s Main
Campus is conveniently located within easy reach of all areas of
Dallas. The six-acre Main Campus houses classrooms for over 400
students in Kindergarten through Grade 12, as well as a gymnasium,
a cafeteria, two libraries, numerous science and computer labs, and
the Charles J. Wyly, Jr. Auditorium. In 2017, Lakehill Preparatory
School added 16,000 square feet to the Main Campus and renovated an
additional 8,000 square feet of space. This vital effort produced
new lab spaces for science, writing, and computer science, as well
as an art studio. It also provided new classrooms, administrative
offices, and meeting and event rooms. A dramatic 5,000-square-foot
inner courtyard offers outdoor classroom and performance
space.Located on Ferguson Road,
Lakehill`s second campus is the seventeen-acre Roger L. Perry
campus. It is a perfect location to engage children in nature. With
its graceful walkways, sweeping trees, existing creek, and pristine
athletic fields, the property feels majestic and park-like, yet
welcoming and calming. After breaking ground early in December
2008, crews began work on Lakehill`s highly anticipated Alice and
Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center.
The Alice and Erle Nye Family Environmental Science Center
offers laboratories, classrooms, and meeting space. With over 40
acres of untouched land to explore, Lakehill students have the
opportunity to experience nature in a pristine, untouched
environment. The science curriculum for each grade is thematic and
concepts introduced will be built upon from one year to the next.
An AP Environmental Science course is available to Upper School
students.
The 6500 square foot building is simply state-of-the-art use of
the environment and energy. But the greatest thing about the
facility is not the building, but the idea that we can get kids,
like me, out in nature, learning about and experiencing the natural
environment, and that this is a legacy that will always be here for
Lakehill children.Lakehill`s athletic facilities include the
Warriors Football and Soccer Stadium, Basketball and Volleyball
Gym, Baseball Field, Softball Field, Tennis Courts, and Field
House. Athletic events, off-season training, and extracurricular
activities are held at Lakehill`s Main Campus as well as the
Warrior Athletic Complex on the Roger L. Perry Campus. A two-story
press box offers space for concessions, equipment storage,
observation area, announcer`s booth, and live broadcasts of
games.The football and soccer field seats 1200 fans and has the
highest quality natural grass turf available. It is a
family-friendly environment with a beautiful natural setting and
there is a special grilling area that offers food and fellowship at
all sporting events.The baseball and softball fields were designed
and built by W.O. Adams, who also built fields for the Texas
Rangers and the Houston Astros. Each field has a top-of-the-line
scoreboard and is regulation size consistent with professional and
collegiate standards. These fields are highly sought after, we even
hosted the New York Yankees for a regional baseball tryout.The
tennis courts were built in 2006 with four UTSA-approved,
professional grade courts. And last, our state of the art field
house has spacious locker rooms, indoor batting cages used by
softball and baseball teams, and a weight room.Lakehill Preparatory
School provides Dallas K-12 students the limitless opportunities
they need to excel, and the rich support they need to keep forging
ahead.

What a wonderful college preparatory school nestled in the Lakewood community in Dallas, Texas. My son drove all the way from Plano to attend this well directed college preparatory school! The administrative and academic leadership is fantastic. The school's academic program is challenging and offers upper school students a variety of quality AP courses. The student body is very inclusive and fun! My son was able to fit immediately which is a testament to the school. The school's community service programs are wonderful! Students giving back to the community are a tradition at the school. In addition, there are all kinds of competitive sports teams available for students. The school's baseball coach was awesome with his players, too!! Way to go R.C.! I can't say enough good things about this school!!! Thank you Headmaster, Perry!

Our kids have been at Lakehill through elementary and middle school. We find the school to be academically rigorous, but not overwhelming. The core academic teachers are extremely talented and caring. The PE coaches are incredible, and the opportunities for our children have been tremendous overall. We appreciate the AP offerings, the PE offered daily, and the attention to behavior in the halls and classrooms. We have noticed a very positive change in this school over the last few years, with a few new teachers and new students. The student body is growing and improving. The administration does not tolerate bad behavior or bullying whatsoever. As parents, our observation is that students at Lakehill who want to do well, do, in fact, perform well. Teachers are there when you need them. It is a very friendly and family-oriented environment. We find Lakehill to be very down to earth and low key, yet upbeat and challenging. Our kids love to go to school, and their confidence has blossomed.

This is the best private school in Dallas! It has a neighborhood feel, but students drive from many locations just to attend. It is diverse, open, and welcoming. Our children attended lower and middle school, and will soon matriculate into high school. The 2013 graduates are going to colleges such as Harvard, Brown, Tufts, and USC among many other quality schools. We are so impressed with the individualized attention, zero tolerance for bad behavior, and administrators who care. Most of the parents at Lakehill are willing to sacrifice a large environment for the fine balance Lakehill offers between academics and a quality social life. The AP courses are outstanding, and the quantity of courses and sports is impressive for a school of this size. Our children have matured into thoughtful, motivated, and diligent students. We could not be happier!
