Lakevue Elementary School

Summary:

Lakevue Elementary School is a public elementary school in Nampa, Idaho, serving 951 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Vallivue School District. The school stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, and the exceptional performance of its Hispanic and White student subgroups, though it faces challenges with increasing chronic absenteeism and a growing population of students from low-income households.

Lakevue's student population is more racially diverse than the state average, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (35.54%) and a lower percentage of White students (56.57%). Academically, the school's overall ISAT Math proficiency (40.7%) is slightly below the state average (42.2%), but its 3rd-grade Math proficiency (49.2%) is on par with the state. In ISAT English Language Arts, Lakevue outperforms the state average (55.1% vs. 53.3%) and the Vallivue School District (52.8%). The school's Hispanic and White student subgroups both perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 5 and top 50 in the state, respectively.

However, Lakevue faces some challenges, including a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 15.7% in 2020-2021 to 36.0% in 2021-2022, before decreasing to 23.9% in 2022-2023.

While Lakevue's academic performance is generally stronger than nearby schools in the Vallivue School District, it lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the Nampa School District, such as Willow Creek Elementary.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

At the national level, Lakevue Elementary was recognized as a National Title 1 award winner for extraordinary achievement by students in math, language arts and reading, one of only 50 such honorees in the nation. Close Quote

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.
