Summary

Lakeview Academy is an elementary school in Milledgeville, GA, serving 575 students in grades 3–5 within the Baldwin County school district, where nearly 87% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Despite an overall state ranking in the bottom fifth of Georgia elementary schools, Lakeview Academy consistently outperforms its district peers. In the most recent full test data (2024–2025), the school beat district averages in 5 of 6 tested subjects, with particularly strong English Language Arts results—4th grade proficiency hit 37.6% compared to the district's 30.5%, and 5th grade reached 36.8% versus 29.4%. The contrast with Midway Hills Academy, the district's other grades 3–5 school, is striking: Lakeview's 4th grade ELA proficiency was nearly double Midway Hills' 19.0%, despite both serving high-poverty populations. The school's biggest bright spot is chronic absenteeism, which has dropped from 23.8% in 2021–2022 to 12.3% in 2024–2025—now 7 points better than the state average. The student-teacher ratio has also improved dramatically, falling from 19.2:1 to 12.4:1 over the same period, reflecting increased investment in staffing.

However, significant challenges remain. Special education students rank in the bottom 3% of schools statewide (450th of 465), a critical area of concern. Recent math scores (2025–2026) declined across all grade levels and now fall below district averages, reversing the prior year's gains. Science proficiency, while improving (27.7% in 2025–2026, up from 19.4% two years earlier), still trails the state average of 44.2%. The school also spends less per student ($13,670) than nearby Putnam County Elementary School ($16,451) and Wilkinson County Elementary School ($17,280). Notably, Lakeview outperforms Wilkinson County in ELA despite Wilkinson's much lower absenteeism (4.8%), suggesting Lakeview's instructional strategies are yielding results beyond what attendance alone would predict. The school's trajectory shows promise, but closing the gap with state averages—especially for special education students—remains the key priority.

This school unfortunately is one of the lowest rating schools there are and the staff clearly does not have a handle on things. In my opinion, there are various other schools that offer much better services and my child will never go back here. My child never got what they needed and information was handled poorly.
