Lakeland School District

The Lakeland School District in Pennsylvania operates three schools: two elementary schools (Lakeland Elementary School - Scott Campus and Lakeland Elementary School - Mayfield Campus) and one junior/senior high school (Lakeland Junior/Senior High School). The district's schools serve a predominantly white student population, with some diversity at the Mayfield Campus.

The Lakeland Elementary School - Scott Campus stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 363 out of 1,534 Pennsylvania elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It boasts strong academic performance, with 60-70% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math and ELA assessments. In contrast, the Lakeland Elementary School - Mayfield Campus lags behind, with proficiency rates ranging from 27% to 43.9% in PSSA Math and ELA. This disparity may be linked to the Mayfield Campus's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

At the high school level, the Lakeland Junior/Senior High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 244 in 2020-21 to 495 in 2022-23. While the school maintains a respectable 3-star rating, it struggles in Keystone Exams, particularly in Algebra I, where its proficiency rate of 11.9% is significantly lower than the state average of 34.1%. However, the high school does perform better than the state average in 7th grade PSSA Math, with a proficiency rate of 48.9% compared to the state's 33.2%.
