Summary:
The Lakeview School District (Calhoun) in Michigan is home to two high schools: Lakeview High School and Lakeview Alternative High School. Both schools share the same 82.8% four-year graduation rate and 7.6% dropout rate, indicating similar academic outcomes despite serving different student populations.
Lakeview High School is ranked 305 out of 743 Michigan high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school performs above the district and state averages in some test score metrics, such as 11th-grade M-Step/Social Studies and SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, but lags behind in 11th-grade SAT/Mathematics. Lakeview Alternative High School, on the other hand, has a significantly higher free/reduced lunch rate of 71.95%, suggesting a larger population of economically disadvantaged students, and a much higher student-teacher ratio of 59.4, indicating a potentially more challenging learning environment.
The difference in spending per student between the two schools ($14,277 for Lakeview High School vs. $10,525 for Lakeview Alternative High School) suggests that the district may allocate more resources to the main high school. This could be an area to investigate further to ensure equitable funding and support for all students in the Lakeview School District (Calhoun).
