Summary:
The 67437 zip code is home to a single high school, Lakeside Junior/Senior High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's performance data suggests it is underperforming compared to state averages, with a 2-star rating out of 5 on the statewide School Digger ranking and lower-than-average test scores in most subject areas.
Lakeside Junior/Senior High School has a 89.5% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly higher than the state average, but its 1.3% dropout rate and 19.5% chronic absenteeism rate indicate room for improvement in student engagement and retention. The school's spending per student ($14,713) and low student-teacher ratio (10.5) suggest that resources are being allocated, but these investments have not yet translated into stronger academic outcomes.
While Lakeside Junior/Senior High School serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, with 57.04% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the data does not indicate a direct correlation between the school's performance and its student demographics. The school's leadership and the Waconda district may need to focus on targeted strategies to address the school's specific challenges and improve student learning and achievement.
