Summary:
Lake View High is a public high school serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 523 students in Lake View, South Carolina, which is part of the Dillon 04 school district. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly for certain student subgroups.
Lake View High's racial makeup is more diverse compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of White (51.24%) and Native American (3.06%) students. However, the school's academic performance is a concern, with only 42.5% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, compared to the state average of 72.5%. The school's performance is particularly low for African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking 171st and 217th out of South Carolina high schools, respectively. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of $12,022, the school's academic struggles suggest that funding alone may not be the primary driver of student performance.
When compared to other nearby high schools, such as Dillon High and Marion High, which are also in high-poverty districts, Lake View High's performance is generally lower. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from 98th out of 225 high schools in 2018-2019 to 205th out of 235 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is facing significant challenges in improving student outcomes. To address these issues, Lake View High may need to focus on targeted interventions and support, particularly in the areas of mathematics and English language arts, as well as addressing the unique needs of its diverse student population.
