Lake Shore Middle School

Summary:

Lake Shore Middle School is a public middle school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 972 students in grades 6-8, and is part of the Duval District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state and rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lake Shore Middle School faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 66.05% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools, which range from 11.86% to 56.09% African American students. The school has also experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.4% in 2019-2020 to 36.5% in 2022-2023, much higher than the 11.8% to 60.8% range of nearby schools. Academically, Lake Shore Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the Duval District and the state of Florida, with only 22-40% of students proficient or better in subjects like FAST/English Language Arts, FAST/Math, and Statewide Science/Science, compared to 45-56% for the district and state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.31% to 80%, significantly higher than the 18.34% to 83.11% range of surrounding schools.

While Lake Shore Middle School struggles with these challenges, some nearby schools, such as James Weldon Johnson College Preparatory Middle School and Julia Landon College Preparatory & Leadership Development School, perform significantly better on these metrics, with higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that addressing the underlying issues at Lake Shore Middle School, such as chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage, could be crucial in improving student outcomes and the school's overall performance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
