The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am highly disappointed in this school. This is the fifth time this year that something came up wrong with my daughters transportation. The lies has to stop if someone called they should leave a voicemail. This school has constantly left me wondering and this our final day. How dare you have no remorse , this is ridiculous. The administration needs to get it together. I DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL FROM SCHOOL NUMBER AND THE ONLY POSSIBLE NUMBER CALLED ONCE. It is coming off as jealousy from the administration or whomever and I will not back down. This school is not safe and doesnt care. You guys can try to make ME look bad but it will never work because I'm an A1 MOM .Who will always be there for my child keep your jealous feelings out of the school. FAREWELL. We will take a pumpkin patch for less than 31.00 as there are many

I absolutely love lakeside charter. This school is amazing. This is my daughter second year at Lakeside. She has grown tremendously from 1st grade to 2nd grade. I can honestly say every teacher is committed to each student education. I wouldn't trade this school for nothing in this world. Thank you to all the staff members at Lakeside charter you guys are amazing.

My sons went there in 2023. They hated it. Constant bulling and my oldest had 3 teachers in the matter of months. Bad turnover. Do not recommend.

This my our 2nd year at LCA and will be our last. My son who has a disability has been bullied to the point of developing anxiety and fear of coming to school. The school principal is not proactive in addressing bullying behaviors and instead has blamed my child and stated the identified bullies are...
