Lakeview Secondary

Summary:

Lakeview Secondary is a public high school in Cottonwood, Minnesota, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 315 students. While the school is part of the Lakeview School District, which is ranked 136 out of 463 districts in Minnesota, Lakeview Secondary faces several key challenges that set it apart from nearby high-performing schools.

One notable difference is the school's racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (92.06%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Matec and Yellow Medicine East Secondary. Academically, Lakeview Secondary's performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally below the state average and nearby high-performing schools like Minneota Secondary. For example, in 2023-2024, only 30.77% of 11th-grade students at Lakeview Secondary were proficient or better in Math, compared to 71.11% at Minneota Secondary. The school has also seen fluctuations in its graduation rates and an increase in dropout rates, which are generally worse than the nearby high-performing schools.

Lakeview Secondary's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status student subgroups is particularly concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 20% and bottom 50% of Minnesota high schools, respectively. While the school faces these challenges, the data suggests that there is room for improvement, particularly in addressing the needs of these student populations. By identifying and implementing effective strategies to support these students, Lakeview Secondary could potentially improve its overall academic outcomes and better serve the Cottonwood community.

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.
