Summary

Lakeview Elementary is a K–5 school in Yorba Linda, serving 381 students in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified area. Its clearest strength is academic performance: in 2025–2026, it ranked second among 10 nearby schools in both English language arts (ELA) and math proficiency.

ELA and math are standout results locally and well above district and state rates. ELA proficiency was 84%, compared with 67% in the district and 49% statewide; math was 82%, versus 57% in the district and 38% statewide. Nearby-school averages were 73% in ELA and 69% in math. Science is a relative weakness: Lakeview reached 57%, above the district’s 52% and the state’s 36%, but below the nearby-school average of 60%; it ranked seventh locally. Third grade was especially strong, with 93% proficient in both ELA and math, the highest nearby results in each. By fifth grade, results were 77% in ELA and 67% in math.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–2023, rising 6 and 5 percentage points, respectively, but the school’s lead over the state widened by 3 points in ELA and 1 point in math. Science has been uneven, falling from 78% in 2024–2025 to 57% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger gives Lakeview 5 stars and places it in the 95th percentile statewide, third among nearby schools behind Golden Elementary and Olinda Elementary. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 22.3, near the middle locally; 22% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the lowest reported share in the comparison. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness percentile was 73 for Asian Students, 22 points below Lakeview’s overall percentile; for White Students, it was 71, 24 points below overall. These are notable differences in the group rankings despite the school’s strong overall standing.
