Summary

Lakeview Elementary serves 457 students in kindergarten through grade five in Santa Fe Springs, California. In 2025–2026, its students scored above the state average in English language arts (ELA), math, and science, but results were less consistent compared with nearby schools and the district. The clearest grade-level concern is third-grade ELA: 45% of students met the standard, compared with 58% in fourth grade and 63% in fifth. The key takeaway is that beating state averages does not mean results are strong across every grade or comparison.

ELA is Lakeview’s strongest subject against nearby schools: its 56% score was 2 points above the average for 10 nearby schools. But its 43% in math was 3 points below their average, and its 40% in science was 2 points below—the weakest nearby comparison. Against the Little Lake City Elementary district, Lakeview was 4 points behind in ELA and 2 points behind in science, while math was 1 point ahead overall. It was above the state by 7 points in ELA, 5 in math, and 4 in science. SchoolDigger placed Lakeview at the 66th percentile statewide, with 3 stars and a rank of 1,975 out of 5,804; among Lakeview and 10 nearby schools, it ranked eighth.

Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 9 points, math fell 2 points, and science rose 6 points, including a sharp 16-point science rebound in the latest year after a drop. Attendance is also a concern: chronic absenteeism increased from 14% in 2024–2025 to 36% in 2025–2026, above the state’s 18% but below the district’s 38%. In 2024–2025, 72% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest reported share among nearby schools; the student-teacher ratio was 21.7. SchoolDigger ranked effectiveness for Hispanic Students at the 85th percentile, compared with Lakeview’s overall 66th. For Special Education Students, its ranking rose to the 71st percentile from 48 the previous year.
