Lakeshore Elementary

Summary:

Lakeshore Elementary is a public elementary school in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serving 328 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Eau Claire Area School District, which is ranked 217 out of 428 school districts in the state.

Lakeshore Elementary faces several challenges, including academic performance that is generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts (55.81%) and Mathematics (55.81%) was lower than the district (56.22% and 60.16%) and state (52.07% and 56.58%) averages. The school's performance has been consistently below average over the past few years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 544 to 709 out of 1,061 Wisconsin elementary schools. Lakeshore Elementary's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking particularly low for Asian students, White students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Another concern at Lakeshore Elementary is the high rate of chronic absenteeism, which has more than doubled from 8.9% in 2018-2019 to 15.0% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools like Robbins Elementary (11.2%) and Putnam Heights Elementary (9.7%). Additionally, Lakeshore Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.71% to 61.04% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the rates at nearby schools like Chippewa Valley Montessori Charter School (31.13%).

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.
