I have been a parent of a Lakeside School student for ten years. I continue to be impressed by the professionalism and enthusiasm of the committed teachers and staff!

This school lets lower achievers fall through the cracks.

I had my son in another local school. He struggled through his K-1 years. This got to the point to where he didn't like school and wasn't making any progress. The great staff at Lakeside School including the principle took great interest in helping my son achieve his potential.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Montana used the Criterion-Referenced Test (CRT) to assess students in grades 3 though 8 and 10 in reading and math and in grades 4, 8, and 10 in science. The CRT is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Montana. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
