Lakeshore Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeshore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Holland, Michigan, serving 419 students in grades PK-5. As part of the West Ottawa Public School District, Lakeshore stands out as a high-performing school with strong academic achievement, a diverse student population, and a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Lakeshore Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Michigan, with students outperforming the district and state averages on state assessments across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, Lakeshore's 5th-grade students achieved 64.8% proficiency in English Language Arts, compared to 47.5% for the district and 44% for the state. The school's diverse student population, with 57.52% White and 32.22% Hispanic students, is notable compared to some nearby schools with higher concentrations of either White or Hispanic students. Additionally, Lakeshore has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (35.56%) than the district and state averages, suggesting it serves a more economically advantaged population.

However, Lakeshore Elementary has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 8.8% in 2018-2019 to 24.3% in 2022-2023, a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions. When compared to nearby schools, Lakeshore outperforms many in academic achievement, with Lakewood Elementary and Waukazoo Elementary demonstrating similar high performance, while schools like Pine Creek Elementary, Sheldon Woods Elementary, and the Holland Language Academy at Van Raalte have lower academic achievement.

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.
