Lakeside provides a good experience for most Arkansas students. While there are some evident flaws in the school system, one must compare to all other schools in Arkansas. With that in mind, one can see how Lakeside stands most other Arkansas schools.

I love Lakeside High School. I have been in this school since I was four years old. This school is like my second home. It is a very safe place and is very welcoming to new faces. Lakeside also does a good job at picking the right teahers. I have never been in a situation where I did not like my teacher. The only thing I would change about my school is remodeling the High school. The high school is a very old building.
