Summary:

The Lakeview School District (Calhoun) in Michigan consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (1 regular and 1 alternative), and no alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population with varying academic performance and resource levels across its schools.

Among the standout schools in the district, Westlake Elementary School consistently performs above the district and state averages on M-Step English Language Arts and Math assessments for 3rd and 4th grades, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Riverside Elementary School also demonstrates strong proficiency rates in these subjects, with a 3-star rating. Meanwhile, Lakeview High School stands out for its relatively high graduation rate (82.8%) and lower dropout rate (7.6%) compared to state averages.

However, the district faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, significant performance gaps between schools, and disparities in funding and resources. The data reveals that Prairieview School consistently underperforms compared to other elementary schools on M-Step assessments, while Lakeview Alternative High School stands out with its high student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending, which may indicate challenges in providing a robust educational experience for its students.
