Lakeview Elementary

Summary:

Lakeview Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenwood, South Carolina, serving 475 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenwood 50 School District, which is ranked 22 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Lakeview Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (40-44%) and Hispanic (6-9%) students compared to nearby schools like Ninety Six Primary and Long Cane Primary. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, has been consistently lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade ELA and Math 5-10 percentage points below. Additionally, Lakeview has a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating that all students come from low-income families, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $14,396, compared to the nearby schools' range of $12,252 to $15,393, Lakeview Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, from 267 out of 639 South Carolina elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 318 out of 638 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance has not kept pace with other schools in the state. However, the district's overall 4-star rating and Lakeview's high per-student spending indicate that there may be opportunities for the school to improve its academic performance through targeted interventions and support.

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.
