Lakeview High School has a relatively diverse student population, with 55.53% White, 11.35% African American, 12.94% Hispanic, and 9.91% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools like ClimaxScotts High School and Harper Creek High School, which have a higher percentage of White students. Academically, Lakeview High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, with 42.6% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in M-Step/Science, compared to 39.6% for the Lakeview School District and 37.5% for the state. The school has also maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.8% in 2020-2021 to 92.4% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the graduation rates of some nearby schools like Battle Creek Central High School (72.0% in 2022-2023) and West Michigan Virtual Battle Creek High School (40.0% in 2022-2023).

However, Lakeview High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 19.2% in 2020-2021 to 33.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and an area of concern for the school. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 234 out of 561 Michigan high schools in 2020-2021 to 305 out of 743 in 2023-2024, suggesting the need for the school to identify and address the factors contributing to this decline.

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.
