This is the sixth year I have had children attending Lakeside. I love the school, the teachers and staff, and the children and parents. K - 5 class sizes are small, so that the teachers can really focus on each individual childs needs. Upper level children are pushed harder so that they can progress at a faster pace, while the lower level children are also given independant attention and are not left behind. So far, great all around!

Communication with teachers is always a problem. The school does not have email accounts for their staff. They have phone number extentions but playing phone tag seems to be the norm at this school. By the time I am able to actually speak to the teacher, the issue has become irrelevant.

Great school! Really seems to care about the kids and the education level. I have always got my questions and concerns taken care of in a timely manner. Parent group is great. I wish more parents were involved!

Used to be great small school. Rapid growth has caused the small school feel to leave. Classified office staff keeps the school running. Principle seems overwhelmed with things and fails to answer questions straight up. Music program is strong. Teacher really teaches the music well for the amount of time he has.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

The test results by subgroup show how the designated group of students is performing in comparison to the general population.

The API reflects year-over-year schools performance based on STAR test score results from spring 2012.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
