Summary:
The PUC Lakeview Charter Academy District contains one middle school, PUC Lakeview Charter Academy, serving 334 students in grades 6-8 in Lake View Terrace.
This school serves a community with high economic need and faces significant challenges, with academic proficiency below state averages in English, math, and science, and a chronic absenteeism rate notably higher than the state average. Despite these hurdles, the school shows a clear positive trajectory, improving its statewide ranking over the last three years. A particularly striking finding is the dramatic variation in performance between grade levels; while 7th-grade math scores are very low, 8th graders actually outperform state averages in both math and English, suggesting effective support systems may be in place for students who progress through the school.
With per-student spending far above typical state levels, the school is a significant investment in the community. For parents, the key insights are the school's ongoing improvement trend and the strong performance of its 8th-grade students, which indicate the potential for student growth. The high chronic absenteeism is an important area for family-school partnership to address, as better attendance would likely support further academic gains across all grades.
