Lakeside Elementary School

Summary:

Lakeside Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Wayne Highlands School District in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. With a student population of 407, the school has a predominantly White student body (88.21%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (8.35%), Asian (0.74%), Native American (0.74%), and two or more races (1.72%) students.

Lakeside Elementary School consistently outperforms the state averages on the Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) exams, with 62.9% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to the state average of 39.3%, and 80.2% proficiency in PSSA Science, significantly higher than the state's 65.6%. The school also outperforms the state in PSSA English Language Arts, with 64.1% proficiency compared to 53.8% statewide. Lakeside's performance is particularly strong for certain student subgroups, ranking 101 out of 432 Pennsylvania elementary schools for Hispanic students, 302 out of 1,414 for low socioeconomic status students, and 304 out of 1,043 for disabled students, all with 4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars.

Lakeside Elementary School's academic performance is notably stronger than some of the nearby schools, such as Valley View Intermediate School, which had significantly lower proficiency rates in PSSA Math (36.5%), PSSA Science (72.7%), and PSSA English Language Arts (52.1%) compared to Lakeside. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students (51.84%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, Lakeside has been able to maintain its strong academic performance, suggesting effective strategies for supporting these students. The school's commitment to investing in resources and infrastructure, as evidenced by its increased spending per student from $20,029 in 2019-2020 to $22,130 in 2021-2022, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.6 to 12.7 over the past three school years, may also contribute to its academic success.

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.
