Summary:
The 48850 zip code area is home to 3 schools that are part of the Lakeview Community Schools (Montcalm) district, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school.

Lakeview Elementary School stands out as a top performer, ranking in the top 30% of Michigan elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts impressive student performance, with 63.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 62% in Math on the 2024-2025 M-Step assessments. Lakeview Middle School also impresses, ranking in the top 30% of Michigan middle schools with a 4-star rating and strong performance in ELA, with 50.6% of 7th graders proficient or better.
While the schools in the Lakeview Community Schools district demonstrate overall strong performance, they also face some challenges. All three schools have relatively high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.35% at Lakeview High School to 69.38% at Lakeview Elementary School. This suggests a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the high chronic absenteeism rates and the relatively lower performance in some subject areas compared to the state average. Addressing these socioeconomic challenges and attendance issues could lead to further improvements in student success.
