Summary:
Lakeside Union Elementary has one listed school, Lakeside Elementary, serving grades K–8 with 238 students. With only one school in the list, there is no local school-to-school comparison; the results show how the school compares with the state and how its grades differ. The most important finding is that Lakeside’s 2025–2026 proficiency was below the state in all three subjects: 22% versus 49% in ELA, 13% versus 38% in math, and 14% versus 36% in science, gaps of 28, 26 and 22 percentage points, respectively.
Lakeside Elementary is both the top and bottom school in this one-school list by default, not because it outperforms or trails local peers. Science was its closest subject to the state result, with a 22-point gap; ELA had the widest gap, at 28 points. Results also vary by grade: 8th grade was closest to the state in both ELA (30% versus 49%, a 19-point gap) and math (18% versus 36%, an 18-point gap). The largest cited gaps were in 5th-grade ELA (13% versus 49%, 37 points) and 4th-grade math (5% versus 42%, 38 points).
Results declined across all three subjects from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: Lakeside fell 4 points in ELA, 6 in math and 3 in science, while its state gaps widened by 5, 7 and 6 points. SchoolDigger ranks the school 5,598th of 5,804, in the 4th percentile, with 0 stars; its ranking percentile also fell from 13 in 2023–2024 to 9 and then 4. Other context includes a 19.8 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, when 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, and chronic absenteeism of 22% in 2025–2026 versus 18% statewide.
