Lakeland Regional High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 98th in 2018-2019 to 171st in 2024-2025. The school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with some areas of strength, such as 88.9% proficiency in NJGPA/English Language Arts for 11th grade in 2024-2025, and some areas of weakness, like only 21.7% proficiency in NJSLA-S/Science for 11th grade in the same year. Compared to nearby schools, such as Kinnelon High School, Wayne Hills High School, and Northern Highlands Regional High School, Lakeland Regional High School generally performs below the top-performing schools but outperforms some lower-ranked schools like West Milford High School and Butler High School.

The school's performance for Hispanic and White student subgroups is also in the 3-star range, while the Asian student subgroup is in the 2-star range. Additionally, the school has a concerning increase in its chronic absenteeism rate, rising from 12.7% in 2023-2024 to 32.0% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. These challenges highlight the need for the school and the Lakeland Regional High School District to identify and address the underlying issues to ensure all students receive a high-quality education and have the opportunity to succeed.
