Lakeview Middle

Summary:

Lakeview Middle is a public middle school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 758 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Greenville 01 school district, which is ranked 14 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite its diverse student population, Lakeview Middle consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in South Carolina, with only 24.5% of 6th-grade students, 22.3% of 7th-grade students, and 24.1% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district averages of 57.8%, 55.8%, and 55.4%, respectively. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 100% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to these academic challenges. Interestingly, Lakeview Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.6 students per teacher, higher than the district average of 15.1 students per teacher.

When compared to nearby schools, the performance gap becomes even more evident. For example, Northwood Middle, located just 6.69 miles away, ranked 32 out of 325 South Carolina middle schools in the 2023-2024 school year and had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. Despite Lakeview Middle's relatively high per-student spending of $12,837, the school has not been able to close the achievement gap with its peers, suggesting that addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as targeted interventions and community engagement, may be necessary to improve student outcomes.

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.
