Summary

Lakeside Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Ashtabula, Ohio, with 482 students. Despite being part of the Ashtabula Area City school district, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 665 and 794 out of over 1,000 schools. Lakeside Junior High School has received 1-2 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 41.2% to 49.4% over the past few years, well above the state average. Academically, Lakeside Junior High School students perform well below state averages on Ohio state tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 20% of 7th graders were proficient in math compared to the state average of 50%, and only 32% of 8th graders were proficient in English Language Arts compared to the state average of 54.4%. The school also has significant achievement gaps between student subgroups, with Hispanic, White, and special education students performing in the bottom 20-25% of schools statewide.

In contrast, just 16.87 miles away, Perry Middle School in the Perry Local district is a high-performing school, ranking in the top 15% of Ohio middle schools. Perry students significantly outperform Lakeside students across all subjects and grade levels, highlighting the dramatic differences in educational outcomes between the two schools. Addressing Lakeside Junior High School's challenges will require a comprehensive school improvement plan focused on improving attendance, instructional quality, and targeted support for underperforming subgroups.
