Summary

Lakeview Virtual School is an alternative public virtual school located in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 47 students. The school is part of the Lakeview Public Schools district, which is ranked 242 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having lower test scores compared to the state and district averages, Lakeview Virtual School has maintained relatively high graduation rates, ranging from 81.7% to 93.6% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and the rates of the nearby schools, such as Cornerstone Jefferson-Douglass Academy, Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center School, and Turning Point Academy. The school's dropout rates have also been lower than the state average, ranging from 1.4% to 21.0% in recent years.

One area of concern for Lakeview Virtual School is its higher chronic absenteeism rates, which have ranged from 22.8% to 31.9% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and Lakeview Public Schools district averages. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 2.9 to 6.9 over the past few years, may be a strength, as it allows for more individualized attention and support for students. Additionally, the school's increasing spending per student, which is higher than the state average, suggests a focus on providing additional resources and support to its students.
