History
Opened in 2001, Lakeside High School serves 9–12.
Lakeside High School was formed following the consolidation of Harbor High School and Ashtabula High School. For its first few years of operation 9th-grade students were taught in the old Harbor High School, while 10-12th grade students attended the old Ashtabula High School.[4]
In 2006, the current campus was opened. The high school campus was the first of a total of seven new campus style school buildings to be erected in the area.
In 2024, Lakeside High School roof was damaged following a snowstorm. The High School attempted to secure a bond to repair the roof but was later rejected. Ashtabula Area City School filed a lawsuit after their insurance company Liberty Mutual refused to pay for the roof. As of 2025, the lawsuit is still ongoing. Student and staff have since relocate to a former elementary school.[5] Demolition of the academic wing began in February 2026.[6]
