Lakeland Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking between 523 and 730 out of around 900 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is significantly below the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.2% to 30.1% in Math and 21.9% to 26% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 44.4% and 37.6% to 42.4%, respectively. The school's performance on Science assessments for 5th grade is also low, with only 20.8% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 40.8%. Lakeland Elementary has a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school's performance for its White student subgroup is significantly lower than its overall performance.

Lakeland Elementary has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.5% to 35.7% in recent years, which is well above the state average. The nearby schools, such as Calhoun Elementary, Hudson Elementary, and Appleton City Elementary, generally perform better than Lakeland Elementary on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and better overall rankings. However, these schools also serve smaller student populations and have lower percentages of students from low-income backgrounds, which may contribute to their stronger performance. Addressing the challenges at Lakeland Elementary will require a multi-faceted approach that focuses on improving attendance, supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and leveraging the resources and expertise of the surrounding school 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.
