Lakeland's clearest academic strength is English Language Arts, with roughly three-quarters of students scoring proficient — about 24–26 points above the state average in recent years.

Beyond test scores, Lakeland shows strong non-academic indicators.

The school also earned a 5-star rating for its effectiveness with low-income students in a recent school year. Overall, Lakeland combines solid academics, strong attendance, and high graduation rates, making it a competitive option among North Idaho high schools.
