History: 

Established in 1881 and serving as a one-teacher, 1st – 8th grade, single-room school up until the mid-1950s, the history of Lakeside School is deeply intertwined with the Los Gatos and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Eventually, it became big enough to incorporate Central, Brown, Castle Rock, and Fairview Schools. The bulk of our current campus was built in 1967, with our Community Center completed in 2004. Kindergarten was finally added in 1984. Lakeside’s largest enrollment peaked in 1986 with 180 students.

Vision:

Lakeside Students will achieve at their highest potential to be prepared for their future.

Mission:

Our mission is to create independent learners with a rich and challenging curriculum, distinguished by instructional variety, innovation, and collaboration while fostering social-emotional strength.
