Summary

Lakeview High School in Lakeview, MI, serves 368 students in grades 8 through 12 and is part of the Lakeview Community Schools (Montcalm) district, which has earned a 4-star rating from the state.

Lakeview High School is currently ranked in the 70th percentile statewide (3 stars), a strong rebound from a difficult period a few years ago. The school's standout feature is its exceptional 11th-grade performance. In Science, 59.6% of juniors are proficient, compared to the state average of 35.2%, and in Social Studies, 56.1% are proficient versus the state's 43.2%. These scores are the highest among nearby schools, including Greenville Senior High School and Chippewa Hills High School. Even more striking, Lakeview's 11th graders score 38.6% proficient in SAT Math—far exceeding Chippewa Hills' 9% and Morley Stanwood's 21%. The graduation rate is solid at 86.9%, above the state average, though the dropout rate of 7.2% is slightly higher than some neighboring districts.

While the junior class is thriving, the school shows a "tale of two cohorts." Current 8th graders are struggling in Social Studies (39.5% vs. the state's 50.3%), which could foreshadow a dip in future rankings. Additionally, students from low-income backgrounds (48.9% of the student body) rank in the 52nd percentile, indicating an achievement gap compared to the school's overall 70th-percentile performance. Chronic absenteeism (27.6%) is also at the state average and higher than some peers. On a positive note, Lakeview spends a substantial $16,231 per student—more than nearby districts—and its top students perform at levels comparable to those at the highly selective Early College at Montcalm Community College. With continued focus on younger grades and closing the equity gap, Lakeview has clear potential to reach the top quartile of Michigan schools.
