Academics
Lakeridge Junior High opened its doors in August 1975. It won the "Best in State 2008" award for Utah public elementary, middle, and high schools. Lakeridge also won "Best of State 2009" as well and in 2010 and 2011. In 2014 Lakeridge Jr High was nominated for the "National Blue Ribbon" award. This award was won by a landslide due to the efforts of the school as a whole.[3]
Flex time
Flex time was a trial program begun at Lakeridge in fall 2007. It allowed students with passing grades to participate in enrichment activities for 30 minutes during the day, while students with failing grades could work to improve their performance, which gave students with little time at home an opportunity to complete missing work.[4] The program, still in use at Lakeridge, has been implemented at other Utah schools.[citation needed]
Athletics
The Lakeridge athletic program has spawned a few Olympians, including Niklas Arrhenius and his brothers, nationally ranked Swedish competitors in shot put, discus, and hammer throw.[5]
