Need help to get into Lakeside? Our independent admissions consultants can help.
The Lakeside School provides a rigorous and dynamic middle school academic program that aims to develop global citizens who possess wisdom, compassion, and leadership skills. Lakeside encourages students to be open and engaged by providing an inclusive and safe school environment where students can experience and share the joy and value of community and lifelong learning.
The Lakeside School is recognized as the best STEM high school in Washington and one of the best private high schools in Washington and the entire US. Being highly ranked makes it the top choice of selective families, causing its acceptance rate to drop. Only about 34 spots in 5th grade are open yearly, and 0 to 2 spots in 7th and 8th grade. If you are planning on applying, our admissions consultants can help you create an impressive application portfolio with the following requirements:
1. Student Essay
2. Student Short Answers
3. Parent Statement
4. Transcripts
5. Recommendation Letters
6. SSAT
7. Admissions Interview
Let us help you overcome the challenges and increase your chances of admission to Lakeside School through our private school admissions consulting services.
