Lakeside Union Elementary

Summary:

The Lakeside Union Elementary district in California consists of nine public schools serving grades K-8, with seven elementary schools and two middle schools, educating roughly 4,500 students in total.

Academic performance varies significantly across the district. Riverview Elementary stands out as the top performer with strong test scores in English and math, while Lakeview Elementary also shows consistent strength. In contrast, Lindo Park Elementary and Lemon Crest Elementary face greater academic challenges and have higher rates of chronic student absenteeism.

Notable findings include that DREAM Academy has an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate, a key factor often linked to student success. Both Lakeside Middle and Tierra del Sol Middle show a concerning drop in math proficiency in 8th grade compared to 7th grade. Interestingly, Lakeside Farms Elementary posts science scores well above average, and the district's highest-performing school operates with the lowest per-student spending, indicating factors beyond funding heavily influence outcomes.
