Summary:
The Lake City Area School District operates three schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district's schools include Lake City Elementary School, Lake City High School, and Lake City Middle School. While the elementary school generally performs well on state assessments, the middle and high schools face challenges with lower proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and elevated dropout rates.
At the elementary level, Lake City Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in 3rd-5th grade math, exceeding state averages. However, the school also has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 32.4%. In contrast, Lake City Middle School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate of 26.5% and excels in 6th-7th grade math, but struggles with lower proficiency in 8th grade social studies.
The most significant concerns are at the high school level, where Lake City High School has a concerning graduation rate of 77.1% and a dropout rate of 11.9%, both well below state averages. The high school also grapples with low proficiency rates on the SAT, particularly in mathematics. Across all schools, the district faces challenges with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting a need to address socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student success.
