With a total enrollment of 461 students in grades K-5, Lakeside School has consistently been ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 14th out of 1,488 Michigan elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Lakeside School's academic performance is exceptional, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages in proficiency across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 77.8% of 3rd-grade students at Lakeside School were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 76.4% for the East Grand Rapids Public Schools district and 38.9% for the state of Michigan.

Lakeside School's success is further highlighted by its low chronic absenteeism rate of 6.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly lower than the state average of 29.5%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at only 7.81% in the 2023-2024 school year. While Lakeside School's overall performance is exceptional, the low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch may suggest potential equity concerns, as the school may not be serving a representative cross-section of the community. Nonetheless, Lakeside School's consistent high performance over the years is a testament to the school's dedication to providing a quality education for its students.
