Lakeside Elementary

Summary:

Lakeside Elementary is a public elementary school located in Pittsburg, Kansas, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 422 students. The school's performance has been relatively consistent, with a 3-star rating for several years before dropping to a 2-star rating in recent years.

Lakeside Elementary consistently outperforms the Pittsburg district and the state of Kansas in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The school's 5th-grade students stand out, with 52.23% proficient or better in ELA and 31.87% in Mathematics, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Lakeside's White students and students with disabilities have struggled, ranking lower than their peers across the state.

Lakeside Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.38% to 68.01%, which is higher than the state average. Despite this, the school appears to be efficiently allocating its resources, as evidenced by its relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student. By continuing to focus on effective teaching practices, targeted interventions, and efficient resource allocation, Lakeside Elementary can work to address the challenges faced by its student population and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.

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.
