Lakeview Junior/Senior High School

Lakeview Junior/Senior High School is a public school in Campti, Louisiana, serving 301 students in grades 7-12. The school is part of the Natchitoches Parish school district, which is ranked 24th out of 118 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Lakeview has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Louisiana high schools over the past 10 years, maintaining a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly low for its White and Low Socioeconomic Status student groups, ranking in the bottom 25% of Louisiana high schools for these subgroups. Lakeview's 4-year graduation rate has hovered around 83-85%, below the state average, and its dropout rate of 2.3-4.3% is higher than the state. The school has also struggled with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 21.9% to 29.0% in recent years.

In contrast, the nearby Louisiana School for Math, Science & the Arts, a highly selective public magnet school, consistently ranks in the top 10 high schools in Louisiana and has significantly higher test scores and graduation rates than Lakeview. While Lakeview's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, which could enable more personalized instruction, the school's socioeconomic challenges and underperformance of specific student subgroups indicate a need for targeted academic and social-emotional interventions to support its students.
