Lakeside High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in Arkansas, with a statewide ranking between 12th and 42nd over the past 10 years. The school's performance on standardized tests, such as the ATLAS and ACT Aspire, is significantly higher than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels.

While Lakeside High School excels in English Language Arts and Reading, its performance in Mathematics, particularly in Algebra and Geometry, is relatively lower compared to the state average, which could be an area for the school to focus on improving.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
