Best school ever wouldn't have gone to any other high school. The teachers in the ap courses and Avid program really care and want to see their students succeed

Lakeside is easily the best academic high school serving the Lake Elsinore area. The school has some wonderful teachers, who really care about being an educator. The campus is well thought out and picturesque. The office staff is pretty much what we've found with most school administrations; not totally there for the students and many are inefficient at their jobs.

Lakeside High School is an awesome school. I have two children that attend here and they have great teachers. The students have great pride in this school. They have great coaches in their sports programs as well. They have a great AVID program which has helped both of my kids achieve high grades. This school in my opinion is so much better than either Temescal or Elsinore HIgh school by far.

I just graduated from this school this month and I have to say I loved every second of it. This school is an AVID National Demonstration school, which I was part of the fabulous program. This school has a great sports program and there are tons of clubs and organizations you can join. This school has only been open for a few years and it is the prettiest of all High School. I pride myself in saying the teachers are amazing here, they truly want you to succeed and they help you with whatever they can. The counselors like Ms. Geason, are very caring and supportive they help you in every shape and form. I moved here from a different High School my Sophomore year and I am thankful I got to go to such a great school like LHS. This school has the highest test schools of all high schools and we pride ourselfs in being a BULLY FREE ZONE. "See something say something!"
