Summary

Lakeview Middle School, part of the Lakeview Community Schools (Montcalm) district in Lakeview, MI, serves 329 students in grades 4 through 7 and has shown a strong upward trend in its state ranking over the past decade.

One of the most impressive things about Lakeview Middle School is how well it supports students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Even though more than 62% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, these students scored in the 75th percentile statewide—higher than the school's overall ranking. This means the school is particularly effective at helping students who often face extra challenges succeed. The 7th grade stands out as a real strength: in the most recent school year, 48.8% of 7th graders were proficient in English Language Arts and 42.9% in math, both well above state averages. Fifth graders also shine in social studies, with a 40% proficiency rate that is 12.5 points above the state average. Math scores have improved dramatically across several grades, with 4th grade math proficiency nearly doubling in just a few years.

When compared to nearby schools, Lakeview is a clear outperformer. For example, its 7th grade math proficiency (42.9%) is more than triple that of Morley Stanwood Middle School (12.9%), even though both schools serve similar percentages of students on free lunch. Lakeview also beats Tri County Middle School in both 7th grade ELA and math, despite Tri County having a wealthier student body. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.1, lower than all nearby competitors, and spends about $14,954 per student. However, there are challenges ahead: chronic absenteeism jumped from 17.5% to 26.3% in one year, and 6th grade scores dipped below state averages. Addressing these issues will be key to sustaining the school's positive momentum.
