Our family has intentionally chosen to send our children to Great Lakes since kindergarten. This school is a true cross-section of our community, and represents our diverse backgrounds and cultures like no where else. The Great Lakes teachers have continuously gone above and beyond for our kids, and I can say, without a doubt, that our children are better off from the experiences they've had at Great Lakes.
Ryan Jernigan, parent

Great Lakes is the most accurate representation of the West Ottawa community from a cultural, racial and socioeconomic perspective. I am very pleased with how diverse the Great Lakes Elementary student body is, and I think it will prepare any and all who attend for great things to come in the Middle School, High School and 'Real World' years!
Nate Price, former student and current parent
