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.
