Summary

Lakeland Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-6 in LaGrange, Indiana, with 445 students. The school has faced some challenges, including a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, consistently low test scores compared to state averages, and a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Lakeland Intermediate's test scores in both English Language Arts and Math are significantly below the state averages, with only 28.29% of students proficient or better in ELA and 33.74% in Math, compared to state averages of 40.3-41.4% and 39.7-51.5%, respectively. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has also risen from 12.2% in 2020-2021 to 17.8% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, Lakeland Intermediate has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 42.44% to 60.93% over the past 3 years, significantly higher than the nearby Lakeland School Corporation schools.

While Lakeland Intermediate's performance is on par with the overall Lakeland School Corporation district, it lags behind many nearby schools, such as Wayne Center Elementary and Middlebury Elementary, which consistently outperform Lakeland Intermediate. Addressing these challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community.
