Summary

Lakeside High School is a public grades 9–12 school serving 494 students in the rural Nine Mile Falls area as part of the Nine Mile Falls School District. The school has a strong overall profile, ranking 48th of 396 Washington high schools for 2025–26, in the 88th percentile. Its ranking has improved substantially from 138th in 2023–24 and 53rd in 2024–25. Lakeside also reported a 94.1% graduation rate in 2024–25, well above the statewide rate of 82.6%.

Academically, Lakeside is strongest in English Language Arts and science. In 2025–26, 80.91% of students were proficient in ELA, compared with 52.81% statewide, while 63.96% were proficient in science—the highest reported result among the nearby comparison schools. Its math proficiency rate was 47.27%, above the state’s 43.11% but below the district’s 53.24% and the school’s 58.26% result the previous year. Math is therefore the clearest area to monitor. Lakeside also posted particularly strong effectiveness rankings for students from low-income households and special education students, suggesting that its performance extends beyond its overall student population.

Lakeside compares favorably with much larger nearby schools. It ranked just ahead of Mead Senior High School statewide, although Mead had somewhat higher ELA and math results; Lakeside had the stronger graduation rate and science performance. Lakeside also ranked ahead of Mt Spokane High School and Deer Park High School overall, while its 17.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio is moderate for the area. Families should view alternative programs such as Deer Park Achievement High School and The Community School cautiously as direct comparisons because their smaller enrollments and specialized missions can make results less stable.
