History
Lakeside High School, opened in 2001, following a consolidation of the former Harbor and Ashtabula High Schools serves students in grades 9–12. For its first few years of operation 9th-grade students were taught in the old Harbor High School,[4] while 10–12th grade students attended the old Ashtabula High School.[5][6]
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.[7] Demolition of the academic wing began in February 2026.[8]
