Available results do not show whether test performance is rising or falling over time. SchoolDigger’s 2025–26 rankings place Lakin 794th of 900 schools (12th percentile, one star) and Fine Arts 857th (5th percentile, zero stars); Fine Arts’ percentile was 5 in 2023–24, 2 in 2024–25, and 5 in 2025–26. School proficiency results are suppressed for LESD Online Academy, and student-teacher ratios and free/reduced-lunch rates are not supplied, so those measures cannot help distinguish the schools.
