Lakeside Elementary has consistently outperformed the state average in mathematics and English language arts (ELA) assessments across grades 3-5, with a 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 62.1% compared to the state's 53%, and a 5th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 67.6% compared to the state's 49.3%. The school also excels in serving its special education students, ranking 5th out of 171 West Virginia elementary schools in this subgroup for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, Lakeside has been able to maintain high academic performance despite having a significant population of low-socioeconomic status students, ranking 53rd out of 328 West Virginia elementary schools in this subgroup for 2024-2025.

While Lakeside Elementary's performance is generally on par with or exceeds that of the other nearby schools in the Putnam County district, such as Eastbrook Elementary, Scott Teays Elementary, and Mountain View Elementary, it lags behind the top-performing school in the district, West Teays Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 5 elementary schools in the state. Lakeside Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 68th to 277th out of West Virginia's elementary schools, suggesting the need to identify and address any underlying factors that may be contributing to the inconsistency in its academic performance.
