Ridgeview Elementary School is the academic standout of the area: the only 3-star school, at the 61st percentile, with the lowest chronic absenteeism (25.4%) and above-state results in 6 of 7 tested subjects. Wallace H Braden Middle School posted 100% proficiency in Algebra I, the highest figure in this data. At the high school level, Edgewood beats Lakeside in every shared subject by roughly 20 to 36 points and has a higher graduation rate (95.8% vs. 88.5%). Lakeside High's math results are the clearest weakness, including Integrated Math I at 0% and Geometry at 9.3%.

Math generally trails ELA across the area, with Ridgeview the main exception. Keep in mind that free/reduced-lunch data is unavailable, spending figures are from 2018–2019, and two primary schools have only old or no current academic rankings.
