Lakewood Elementary School

Summary:

Lakewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in White Lake, Michigan, serving 425 students in grades K-5 and part of the Huron Valley Schools district, which is ranked 176 out of 610 school districts in the state.

Lakewood Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the Huron Valley Schools district and the state of Michigan in M-STEP test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, 59.4% of 3rd graders, 61.8% of 4th graders, and 54.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 46.9%, 51.5%, and 54.4% for the Huron Valley Schools district, respectively. The school also ranks 3rd out of 225 Michigan elementary schools for its special education student performance, indicating a strong focus and success in supporting this student group. However, Lakewood Elementary has seen fluctuations in its chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 5.9% in 2020-2021 to 21.5% in 2021-2022, which is an area the school may want to monitor and address.

Compared to nearby schools in the Huron Valley Schools district, such as Heritage Elementary, Kurtz Elementary, and Country Oaks Elementary, Lakewood Elementary generally outperforms them in terms of test scores and school rankings. Additionally, Lakewood Elementary has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (21.88%) compared to some of the nearby schools, such as Oxbow Elementary (55.88%) and Houghton Elementary (57.27%), suggesting it serves a more affluent student population. This, along with its higher per-student spending ($16,588 in 2022-2023) and relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, may contribute to Lakewood Elementary's academic success.

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.
