Summary

Louis Lake Intermediate is a public middle school serving about 450 students in grades 7 and 8 within the Garden Grove Unified School District, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above state averages despite a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

This school stands out for its exceptional effectiveness with specific student groups, such as English learners and students from low-income families, often outperforming nearby schools with similar demographics. For example, it achieves significantly higher test scores than Izaak Walton Intermediate in the same district and dramatically outperforms schools in neighboring districts like Ball Junior High in the Anaheim Union High district. Within its own district, Louis Lake holds a solid middle position among peers like Donald S. Jordan Intermediate and Dr. Walter C. Ralston Intermediate.

Notably, the school shows a strong pattern of student growth, with 8th graders scoring significantly higher than 7th graders, suggesting effective support during that critical year. It achieves these strong results efficiently, operating with a higher student-teacher ratio than some district peers. While there is room for improvement in math and science compared to the district average, Louis Lake Intermediate demonstrates that focused teaching and support can lead to consistent academic success for its students.
