Summary:
The Lakeland School Corporation in Indiana operates two elementary schools - Lakeland Intermediate School (grades 3-6) and Lakeland Primary School (grades K-2). While both schools serve a student population with significant socioeconomic challenges, the data reveals that academic performance across the district is a concern, with students performing below the state average on standardized assessments.
Lakeland Intermediate School and Lakeland Primary School have similar student demographics, with a majority white population and a significant Hispanic minority. However, both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, with Lakeland Intermediate's ILEARN scores ranging from 24.56% to 33.04% in ELA and 23.68% to 43.48% in Math. Lakeland Primary School does not have available ILEARN data, but the district's overall academic performance suggests that it likely faces similar challenges. Additionally, the schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be contributing to the low academic outcomes.
Despite the challenges faced by the Lakeland School Corporation, the data does not reveal any clear standout schools within the district. Both Lakeland Intermediate and Lakeland Primary appear to be performing at a similar, average level compared to other schools in Indiana. The district's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking of 247 out of 381 school districts in the state further underscores the need for comprehensive improvement efforts to address the academic and socioeconomic issues facing the schools in this area.
