Lakeside is a great school there are a lot of students who are hard working and very dedicated to their studies and community.
12/29/2025
Honestly it's about what you would expect from a average high school, bathrooms are usually partially broken with either locks or doors missing a really big football team and with admins that try to hard.

The money given to the school should have been used differently. Instead of using the money for murals and art designs, it should have been used to make the school facilities better and make the school a better place.

They focus on the wrong things like unnecessarily dresscoding girls. On my senior year, 202...
