School

State elementary and secondary accreditation committees have recommended Lakeland High School for approved accreditation status with “Merit Recognition” for 2004.  For 2004, only twelve secondary and nineteen elementary Idaho schools have been nominated for approved accreditation status with merit recognition.  Twenty-six percent of the schools across the entire State of Idaho nominated to receive accreditation status with merit recognition fell in the Lakeland Joint School District.

Lakeland High School is a comprehensive four-year public high school enrolling 830 students in grades 9 through 12. The school opened in the fall of 1987 and graduated its first senior class in the spring of 1989.  Lakeland High School is accredited with Merit by the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges.

The academic program is organized on a 2 semester system. Six (6) credits per semester is the maximum course load; though seven (7) classes are allowed with permission.

Honors classes are offered in English 1, 2, 3, and 4, Biology, Geometry, and Algebra 2.  Advanced courses in math include Trigonometry/ Pre-Calculus and Calculus.  Advance courses in science include Chemistry and Physics.  AP courses are available through online learning with Idaho Digital Learning Academy.   Typically students will opt to take dual credit college courses with North Idaho College (54 students) over AP courses (4 students).

Lakeland School District grants both a regular High School Diploma and a college preparatory diploma called an Advanced High School Diploma.

Riverbend Professional Technical Academy offers specialized technical training programs in Health Services, CAD, CAM, Robotics, Auto Tech, Residential Construction, and Welding to juniors and seniors from Lakeland High School.  These programs offer Tech Prep college credits through North Idaho College.
