Lakeside Jr. Sr. High School has maintained its “A” rating from the Louisiana Department of Education for the second consecutive year, achieving a two-point increase in its score. 

 

The Louisiana Department of Education released the school scores on Wednesday. 

 

“I am incredibly proud of our dedicated staff and students,” said Principal Ashley Hooter. “Not only have we retained our ‘A’ status, but we’ve also demonstrated growth. Our goal is to continue improving each year. As always, it’s a great day to be a Warrior!” 

 

The school’s sustained ‘A’ rating can be attributed to several key factors, including a strong emphasis on early college preparatory programs such as Dual Enrollment, ACT, and CLEP courses.

 

Lakeside is fortunate to have an exceptional teaching staff that focuses intensively on math, science, and literacy across all grade levels. In recent years, the school has made a concerted effort to elevate academic standards and expectations. 

 

Teachers at Lakeside consistently challenge students to reach their highest potential while providing the necessary support for achieving excellence. There is a strong emphasis on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, equipping students for future success in college and their careers.  

 

School leadership underscores that this achievement is merely a stepping stone. Lakeside is committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that students receive the best possible instruction and learning opportunities as they move toward a bright future.
