Summary:
The Lakeview Community Schools (Montcalm) district in Michigan consists of 3 schools: Lakeview High School, Lakeview Middle School, and Lakeview Elementary School. The district's schools serve students from elementary through high school grades and are located in the Montcalm area.
Lakeview Elementary School stands out with its high proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts (70.8%) and Math (63.9%), significantly exceeding district and state averages. However, the school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 35%. In contrast, Lakeview High School struggles with a lower-than-average 4-year graduation rate of 76.1% and a higher dropout rate of 1.4%.
Across the district, there is an imbalance in racial diversity, with Lakeview High School having a predominantly White student population (92.62%), while the other schools have slightly more diverse student bodies. Additionally, all three schools in the district have similar spending per student, ranging from $13,562 to $14,642, suggesting equitable resource allocation, but the district may benefit from analyzing how these funds are being utilized to support student outcomes.
