Summary

Lakeside Farms Elementary is a K–5 school serving 667 students in Lakeside, California, within the Lakeside Union School District and near several other elementary schools. Its clearest academic strength is science, but math is the most consistent concern: in 2025–2026, 33% of students were proficient in math, 6 percentage points below the state and 3 below the district.

Science stands out against both local and statewide results. In 2025–2026, 49% of students were proficient, compared with 36% statewide and 40% in the district; the nearby-school average was 35%, and only Riverview Elementary had a higher reported score. Math was also about 7 points below the nearby-school average. ELA was closer to the district but below the state: proficiency was 47%, 1 point above the district and 3 below the state. Nearby schools serve different grade spans, so all-grade comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.

ELA has recovered from a low point, rising from 44% in 2022–2023 to 47% in 2025–2026, but its gap to the state was nearly unchanged. Math fell from 35% to 33% over those years, while its position relative to the state worsened by 6 points. SchoolDigger gives the school 3 stars and a statewide ranking at the 54th percentile; its percentile was 75 in 2015–2016. The latest student–teacher ratio was 22.2 in 2024–2025, and 36% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness ranking for White Students was at the 18th percentile, compared with 54th overall; its ranking for Special Education Students fell from the 70th percentile to the 46th from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026.
