The school's performance has consistently ranked in the middle range among Michigan middle schools, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Academically, Lakeview Middle School's proficiency rates in M-Step/English Language Arts, M-Step/Math, M-Step/Science, and M-Step/Social Studies are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels.

Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as Lakeview Middle School has a high percentage of students (68.2%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population. The school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the typical recommended ratio. These factors suggest that Lakeview Middle School may be serving a disadvantaged student population with additional resource needs, which could be contributing to the school's below-average performance and high chronic absenteeism rate.
