Lakeview Elementary

Summary:

Lakeview Elementary is a public elementary school in Portsmouth, Virginia, serving 419 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Portsmouth City Public Schools district, which is ranked 115 out of 130 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeview Elementary faces significant challenges, with a student population that is 85.68% African American and over 99% receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Virginia elementary schools over the past several years, with student proficiency rates on SOL tests that are significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 63.27%, compared to the state average of 70.11% and the Portsmouth City Public Schools district average of 54.12%.

When compared to nearby schools in the Chesapeake City Public Schools district, such as Camelot Elementary and Southwestern Elementary, Lakeview Elementary consistently underperforms, even though these schools serve similar demographic populations. This suggests that the challenges facing Lakeview Elementary may be more systemic in nature, and that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to address the root causes of the school's poor academic 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.
