Lakeside named outstanding school

Lakeside High School in Garland County this year was one of 13 schools in 30 states and the District of Columbia named an "Outstanding High School" as part of the Southern Regional Education Board's High Schools That Work initiative.

Lakeside is the first high school in Arkansas to receive this award, which is given to high-achieving schools among the 1,200 participating in the program. The award is based on how well a school is preparing students for college readiness and how much it is improving in state assessments.

Lakeside-Top Performing School 2011    

 For the first time The Arkansas Department of Education  has assigned each school district a grade point average based on state mandated test scores.  Lakeside was the top performing school district with the highest grade point average in the county concerning both the benchmark exams and the end of course exams. Lakeside is also the top performing district with the highest GPA of all 5A schools in the state. 
     Lakeside High School was recently named  "Outstanding High School" in the state of Arkansas.  We are one of thirteen in the nation and the only school in Arkansas to receive this distinction. 
     Lakeside has consistently been the top performing school district in the county and we are going to work hard to be the top school in the nation. We have raised the bar as we are the only school district in the state which requires students to take the smart core curriculum to graduate unless a student has a handicapping condition.  We want our high school diploma to have some currency and really be worth something.  We have the most rigorous graduation requirements in the state of Arkansas.
