Lakeview Middle School is a public middle school located in Rossville, Georgia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 690 students. The school is part of the Catoosa County School District, which is ranked 66 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeview Middle School has consistently outperformed the Catoosa County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for Algebra I End of Course exams, with 70.8% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 59.7% for Catoosa County and 44% for the state. However, when compared to other middle schools in the district, such as Ringgold Middle School and Heritage Middle School, Lakeview Middle School lags behind in overall academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 225 out of 539 Georgia middle schools in 2016-2017 to 312 out of 588 in 2023-2024, with a rating between 2 and 3 stars out of 5 from SchoolDigger.

Lakeview Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.95% to 67.25% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools in the Catoosa County district. Despite the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, the school's academic performance still lags behind the district and state averages, indicating that factors beyond just resource allocation may be at play. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Lakeview Middle School suggests that the school serves a relatively disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance compared to the surrounding schools.

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.
