Summary

Lakeside Elementary is a K–5 school with 229 students, located at 4991 S US Highway 45 on the southern edge of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and is one of the smaller elementaries in the Oshkosh Area School District.

In 2025-26, Lakeside ranked 713th of 1,039 Wisconsin elementary schools — 31st percentile, 2 stars — roughly ten percentile points above where its own district sits. Among the ten nearby Oshkosh schools it is compared with, all within 4.7–7.8 miles, Lakeside ranks 3rd of 11, and eight of those ten rank below it. Its attendance record is a true standout: 6.3% chronic absenteeism, third-lowest of the eleven and less than half the district (16.9%) and state (17.3%) rates. It also spends $14,282 per student — the second-lowest in the group, behind only Oakwood Elementary ($13,245) — and achieves these results with the second-highest student-teacher ratio (13.9:1), ahead of schools like Roosevelt Elementary and Menominee Elementary School, which spend considerably more per student and staff more heavily.

Strengths cluster in the 4th-grade content areas: science (59.0%) and social studies (69.2%) beat both district and state, and 4th-grade math (56.4%) tops both as well. Third-grade English language arts (31.3%) and math (35.4%) fall below district and state. Results swing widely year to year — 89th percentile in 2018-19, 68th in 2023-24, and 31st for two straight years now — so a single year should not be read as a trend. Low-income students rank 26th percentile, below the school's overall standing, while special education students have scored above state average (55th–58th percentile) in the years reported.

I love the small school feel. The teachers and principal know each and every child. It has that family feel to it. The school's test scores speak for themselves. Close Quote
