GreatSchools Rating
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.

These three years at Lakeside have been good. There have been times where I hated the fact that we couldn't use our devices. Other than that I liked Lakeside.

Lakeside is a school that offers many academic pathways. For example there is Ap Capstone, IB program, gifted, or other programs to take to be prepared for college.

The best parts of Lakeside HS are the classes I take like chorus and Spanish. The teachers are uplifting and the students are kind to me. The food in the cafeteria is delicious, especially the pizza. I feel safe at my school. The worst part of school is having to stay after school sometimes for Chorus practice.
