Early Returns From the Alumni Survey

1,004 Lakeside graduates shared their thoughts in a wide-ranging poll conducted between January and March 2023. While the qualitative responses have only begun to be analyzed, some early numbers stand out, including:

4.7 out of 5.0 rating of Lakeside’s academic program

4.6 out of 5.0 rating of Lakeside’s faculty

34.8:1 ratio of alums who felt their years here were “transformational” compared to those who did not

97.3% of respondents reported having had a Lakeside adult who was strongly influential on their student experience

152 alumni reported having served as Lakeside volunteers in the past 5 years

326 additional alums expressed interest in volunteering — with mentoring being the most frequently identified area of interest

We’ll share more detailed information — and how the poll results are already impacting our programming — in the Fall/Winter issue of Lakeside magazine.
