Summary

Lakeview Elementary is a public elementary school in Greenwood, South Carolina, serving 462 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenwood 50 School District, which is ranked 20 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Lakeview Elementary has shown a mixed performance in academic test scores compared to the district and state. While the school's 4th-grade ELA proficiency (81.5%) was higher than both the district (72.5%) and the state (63.5%), its 3rd-grade math proficiency (47.9%) was significantly lower than the district (67.3%) and the state (56.3%). The school has also consistently had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.7% to 24.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average.

Lakeview Elementary's performance is generally lower than that of other nearby Greenwood 50 district schools, such as Hodges Elementary, Mathews Elementary, and Merrywood Elementary, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. However, Lakeview outperforms the nearby Woodfields Elementary, also part of the Greenwood 50 district. The school's proximity to Greenwood Charter Academy may present both opportunities for collaboration and potential competition for students.
