Lakeview Middle School stands out in several ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (87.28%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 89.49% to 91.36% white students. The school has also seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.2% in 2019-2020 to 19.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Greenville Middle School (28.7%) and Chippewa Hills Middle School (33.2%), but lower than Tri County Middle School (31.5%) and Morley Stanwood Middle School (25.0%). Academically, Lakeview Middle School's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally on par with or slightly above the district average, but below the state average.

Another notable aspect of Lakeview Middle School is its higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (65.68% in 2022-2023), compared to the nearby schools, which range from 57.44% to 69.01%. This suggests a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds at Lakeview Middle School. The school has also seen a decrease in the percentage of non-white students, from 9% in 2020-2021 to 8.72% in 2022-2023, in contrast to the nearby schools, which have maintained a more diverse student population.

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.
