Summary:
The Lakeside School Dist(Chicot) in Arkansas contains only one high school, Lakeside High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 209th out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024 to 244th out of 295 high schools in 2022-2023, and is currently rated only 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.
Lakeside High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with test scores that are substantially below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. In 2024-2025, only 25.9% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Reading, compared to the state averages of 34.7% and 35.3%, respectively. In math, the school's proficiency rates were even lower, with only 5.9% of students proficient or better in Algebra and 11.4% in Geometry, compared to the state averages of 30.9% and 21.5%. Additionally, the school serves a high-poverty community, with 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, which could be an asset in terms of providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, the school's declining performance and significant gaps in academic achievement suggest that the district and school leadership will need to implement targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and outcomes.
