Summary

Lakeview School in Negaunee, MI, is a well-regarded elementary school serving 584 students in grades PK through 4 within the highly-rated Negaunee Public Schools district. This school stands out as a top performer in the region, earning a 4-star rating and consistently ranking in the top third of Michigan elementary schools.

For parents, the most compelling reason to consider Lakeview is its strong academic results. In recent testing, 3rd-grade English proficiency reached 51.9% and 3rd-grade math hit 57%, both well above state averages. These scores are particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools—Lakeview's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency is more than double that of George D Gilbert Elementary School and Birchview School. The school also excels at supporting students from low socio-economic backgrounds, with this subgroup ranking in the 79th percentile statewide—even higher than the school's overall ranking. Additionally, Lakeview achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student ($14,032) than many lower-performing peers like Graveraet Elementary School ($19,492) and KI Sawyer Elementary School ($20,332).

Another standout feature is the school's exceptional attendance record. With a chronic absenteeism rate of just 11.5%—less than half the state average of 27.9%—Lakeview demonstrates strong student engagement and a supportive school climate. This represents a dramatic improvement from 28.5% just a few years ago. While the school shows a slight dip in math scores between 3rd and 4th grade, its overall trajectory is positive, climbing from the 59th percentile in 2018 to its current 74th percentile. For families seeking a high-achieving, efficiently-run school with a welcoming environment, Lakeview is an excellent choice in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
