Summary

[Lakeland Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/ID/schools/0180000312/school.aspx) is a public middle school in Rathdrum, Idaho, serving 635 students in grades 6–8 as part of the [Lakeland District](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/ID/district/01800/search.aspx), and has earned a 4-star statewide ranking that places it in the 70th percentile of Idaho middle schools.

The school's academic picture is mixed. English language arts and science are clear strengths—59.1% of students are proficient in ELA (above the state average of 54%), and 8th-grade science proficiency sits at 54%, well above the state's 42.9% and the highest among nearby middle schools. Math is the concern: only 41.2% of Lakeland students are proficient, below both the district average (49.4%) and the state average (43.1%). Among nearby schools, only [Lakes Magnet School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/ID/schools/0078000153/school.aspx) scored lower in math, while [Timberlake Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/ID/schools/0180000842/school.aspx), Lakeland's same-district counterpart, posted a much stronger 52.7% math proficiency despite serving a student population with higher economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism. [Canfield Middle School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/ID/schools/0078000148/school.aspx) leads the local group in both math (60.1%) and ELA (72.3%).

On a positive note, Lakeland has improved significantly in recent years, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2020–2021 to its current 4-star status. Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 19% to 13.1%, below the state average. The school also serves a relatively more advantaged population than most neighbors, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 24.57%, and spends about $8,690 per student. One area worth watching: female students have consistently outperformed male students in statewide subgroup rankings, a gap that suggests room for growth in how the school serves all students.
