Lakeside

Summary:

Lakeside is an elementary school located in Bakersfield, California, serving grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 749 students. The school is part of the Lakeside Union District, which is ranked 1268 out of 1568 districts in California and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeside consistently performs below the state and district averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics on the Smarter Balanced Assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, Lakeside's ELA proficiency rate was 39.27% compared to the state average of 47.04%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 13.6% compared to the state average of 35.54%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Low Socioeconomic Status students, who rank in the bottom 10-20% of California elementary schools in these categories. Additionally, Lakeside has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.9% in 2018-2019 to 46.3% in 2021-2022, which is well above the state average.

Comparison to nearby schools, such as Dolores S. Whitley Tk-8, Donald E. Suburu, and Berkshire Elementary, which generally perform better on state assessments and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggests that Lakeside may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies employed by higher-performing schools in the region to improve student outcomes. Overall, Lakeside faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and the school leadership and Lakeside Union District should prioritize addressing these issues to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
