Summary

Lakeview Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 666 students in the Lakeside Union Elementary district, consistently ranking in the top third of all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its strong academic performance, with students scoring well above both district and state averages in English and Math, and for having one of the lowest chronic absenteeism rates in the area at just 7.5%. This is a key strength, especially when compared to other schools in the same district like Lemon Crest Elementary and Lindo Park Elementary, which have much higher absenteeism and lower academic performance. Interestingly, Lakeview Elementary achieves these results with moderate per-student spending, outperforming nearby schools that spend significantly more.

Lakeview shows particular effectiveness in supporting Hispanic students, students with special education needs, and students from low-income families, with these groups performing at high percentiles statewide. While the school excels in the early grades, there is a noted dip in 5th-grade math and science scores that the school may be addressing. Compared to schools in neighboring districts like Cajon Valley Union, such as Madison Avenue Elementary or W. D. Hall Elementary, Lakeview maintains a strong academic advantage.
