Lakeview Elementary

Summary:

Lakeview Elementary is a public elementary school located in Wentzville, Missouri, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 630 students. The school is part of the Wentzville R-IV School District, which is ranked 36th out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeview Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools over the past 10 years, with a current ranking of 215 out of 906 schools. The school's performance on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. For example, in 2023-2024, Lakeview Elementary's 4th-grade students scored 66.9% proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 55.7% for the Wentzville R-IV district and 44.4% for the state. However, the school's performance for its White and low socioeconomic status (SES) students is more average, with rankings in the middle of the state.

While Lakeview Elementary performs well compared to other schools in the Wentzville R-IV district, with higher academic achievement in most grade levels and subject areas, some nearby schools, such as Crossroads Elementary and Discovery Ridge Elementary, also have strong academic performance and may be considered comparable or even outperforming Lakeview in certain areas. Additionally, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, while improving, is an area of concern that the school and district should continue 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.

My kids love Lakeview. It has been great to see their growth among their peers in the school and how well they relate to the teachers.

We have talked about moving the past couple of years but we will for sure stay put as long as our kids are in Elementary school so they can stay at Lakeview. Close Quote

My son attends this school and I absolutely dislike the office staff, plus his teacher is horrible. Shes doesn't keep up with his school work, assignments, or school activities at all. The school offers many activities, however, they do not keep you updated on any of them. The office staff is always inaccurate of my son's whereabouts every single time I am in there to pick him up. It's ridiculous. It is ran so immaturely for the importance of that age group. Close Quote

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.
