Summary

Lakeland Junior/Senior High School is a grades 7–12 school in LaGrange, Indiana, serving 737 students in the Lakeland School Corporation. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 203rd of 415 Indiana high schools, placing it in the 51st percentile with 3 stars — the middle of the pack statewide and among nearby schools. That is a big turnaround from 2015–2016 through 2018–2019, when it sat in the 19th–22nd percentile with 1 star, though it has not quite returned to its 2021–2022 peak of the 66th percentile.

Its relative strengths are student supports and resources. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 94.5%, above the state's 89.7%, and chronic absenteeism was 12.8%, below the state's 16.7% — notable because 50.47% of students were eligible for free or reduced lunch, the second-highest rate among nearby schools. Lakeland also has the lowest student-teacher ratio in its peer group (11.9) and the second-highest per-student spending ($13,534 in 2023–2024). Nearby Westview Junior-Senior High School and Northridge High School post stronger results with larger classes and less spending, and East Noble High School and Prairie Heights Senior High School also rank higher.

Math is the clearest weakness. SAT Math was 17.36% in 2025–2026, well below the state's 25.6%, and ILEARN Math across all grades was 21.24%, below the district's 32.78% and well below Westview's 58.63%. Grades 7 and 8 were below state averages in both ELA and math, and English Language Learner results ranked at the 1st percentile in 2025–2026. Reading and Biology results are closer to state levels, and male students outperformed female students. Families should know that this is an improving, mid-performing school with strong graduation and attendance but real math work ahead.
