Lake Shore High School

Summary:

Lake Shore High School is a public high school located in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, serving approximately 950 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Lake Shore Public Schools district, which is ranked 409 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lake Shore High School has a higher percentage of White students (68.95%) compared to the state average, its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state average. For example, in 2023-2024, only 32.9% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in M-Step Science, compared to the state average of 37.5%. The school's SAT performance in Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (46.9%) and Mathematics (16.1%) also lags behind the state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has declined from 92.7% in 2019-2020 to 85.6% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rate has increased from 1.7% in 2018-2019 to 6.0% in 2022-2023, both of which are concerning trends.

When compared to nearby schools, Lake Shore High School generally performs better than North Lake High School, which is also part of the Lake Shore Public Schools district, but lags behind schools like Lakeview High School and Fraser High School in academic performance and other key metrics. The school's performance also varies significantly among different student subgroups, with its African American students performing relatively well, while its Special Education students rank lower. Despite the increased per-student spending at Lake Shore High School, from $11,416 in 2019-2020 to $16,894 in 2022-2023, the school's academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement, and the high chronic absenteeism rate of 57.5% in 2022-2023 is a concerning issue that the school and district will need to address.

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.
