LAKESIDE SCHOOL

LAKESIDE SCHOOL is a public school with about 20 students offering grade levels from 2nd Grade to 11th Grade. With about 11 teachers, LAKESIDE SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 1:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

LAKESIDE SCHOOL, located in Whitfield, Mississippi, is an educational facility that operates under the Rankin County School District. As a specialized institution, it primarily serves students who require a structured, alternative learning environment, often focusing on behavioral intervention and academic recovery. The school is dedicated to helping students who have struggled in traditional classroom settings by providing smaller class sizes, personalized attention, and a curriculum designed to foster both educational growth and positive behavioral development.

The school operates with a mission to transition students back to their home campuses once they have met specific academic and behavioral benchmarks. By maintaining a focus on discipline, accountability, and individualized support, LAKESIDE SCHOOL serves as a vital resource within the community for students who need additional guidance to navigate their educational journeys successfully. Through its partnership with the district, the school aims to ensure that every student has the opportunity to overcome personal challenges and achieve high school graduation.
