Summary

Lake City High School is a large comprehensive public high school in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, serving about 1,530 students in grades 9–12 as part of the Coeur d'Alene District, which ranks 13th among Idaho districts. The school currently earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 27th out of 122 Idaho high schools, placing it in the 78th percentile. That ranking has climbed steadily since the pandemic, when the school dipped to just 1 star.

Lake City's biggest academic strength is English language arts, where 78.7% of students reached proficiency in 2024–2025 — nearly 25 points above the state average and slightly ahead of nearby Coeur d'Alene High School and Post Falls High School. Math tells a different story: only 40.3% of students are proficient, which trails the district by nearly 12 points and falls behind every nearby traditional high school. Science lands above the state average but below Coeur d'Alene High and Post Falls High. The graduation rate is a bright spot at 95.4% for the 2023–2024 cohort, and Hispanic students at Lake City are served exceptionally well, ranking in the top 10–12% statewide with multiple 5-star ratings.

In the local school landscape, Lake City is a solid middle-tier option. Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy, just over a mile away, ranks 2nd in Idaho with math proficiency above 87%, while Coeur d'Alene High outranks Lake City in overall rank, math, and science. Post Falls High also outperforms Lake City in math and science despite serving a student body with a higher poverty rate. Chronic absenteeism has been a concern, spiking above 28% in 2022–2023, though the most recent figure of 1.2% suggests either dramatic improvement or a reporting change worth watching. Overall, Lake City is a strong ELA school with a clear opportunity to close its math gap and move into the top tier of Idaho high schools.
