Summary

Lakeside is a K–8 school in Bakersfield, California, serving 892 students in Lakeside Union. In 2025–26, its math proficiency was 17%—22 percentage points below the state, 1 point below its district, and 17 points below the nearby-school average. Grade 5 was an especially low point: 6% were proficient, compared with 37% statewide and 10% districtwide, the lowest result among nearby schools reporting grade 5. Grade 5 math is the school’s clearest academic concern.

ELA is Lakeside’s relative strength, but its results remain below the state and most nearby schools. ELA proficiency was 40%, compared with 49% statewide; it was 3 points above the district and 1 point above the nearby-school average, yet third-lowest among the ten schools in the comparison. Science was 21%: 15 points below the state and 6 points below the nearby average, but 1 point above the district. The nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grades comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

Scores have risen slightly over the four available years, but science fell sharply in the latest year: from 34% in 2024–25 to 21% in 2025–26, a drop of 12 points. Across the full period, ELA rose 2 points, math 4, and science 2. SchoolDigger ranks Lakeside 4,426th of 5,804 California schools, at the 24th percentile and 1 star. Its student-teacher ratio was 24.6 in 2024–25, close to the nearby-school average of 24.1. Also in 2024–25, 64% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest nearby figure; the nearby average was 81%. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile for Male Students, a measure of how well the school serves that group, rose from 11 in 2023–24 to 26 in 2025–26; the latest figure is close to the overall percentile of 24.
