Summary

Lake Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 636 students in grades PK-5 in Lake Park, Georgia, which is part of the Lowndes County School District. This district is ranked 22 out of 206 in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lake Park Elementary consistently outperforms the state average on the Milestones Assessments, with 48.3% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 43% statewide, and 60.5% of 3rd graders proficient in Math compared to 44.3% across Georgia. Over the past 10 years, the school has steadily improved its statewide ranking, moving from #416 to #291, while maintaining its 4-star rating. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.18% to 71.7%, Lake Park Elementary spends between $8,064 and $8,424 per student, which is on the lower end compared to nearby Valdosta City schools.

Compared to other Lowndes County elementary schools, Lake Park outperforms its peers on academic measures, including higher proficiency rates in ELA, Math, and Science. In contrast, the Valdosta City elementary schools consistently underperform Lake Park and the other Lowndes County schools, likely due to higher poverty levels in the Valdosta City district. Lake Park's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.1 may also contribute to its academic success, as it is lower than most nearby schools.
