School Information

Principal's Message

Lakeside High School experienced a very positive year in 2006/2007, marked by increases in student achievement data and a clear direction for our future. Our data and survey results tell us that we are a very good high school, but we want to become a leader for public high schools in the state. We want to become a premiere school where students exceed state standards, like those measured on the WASL, and where students are ready for college-level work.

Our mission is to educate students to become responsible, contributing members of society. We have been basing our work on what research indicates is very effective: building rigor, relevance, and relationships. Our students have given us a lot to celebrate.
Celebrations:
• Our WASL scores improved in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. All are well above state averages and among the highest for schools with our demographics. Over 90% of our sophomores met or exceeded standards in both reading and writing.
• Our Class of 2007 was offered over $1 million in scholarships, the highest in our history.
• Thirty-three graduates earned Honors or High Honors for their high school careers.
• Five graduates completed their AA degrees with their high school diploma.
