Lakeview School District

Summary:

The Lakeview School District in Minnesota operates two schools: Lakeview Elementary and Lakeview Secondary. The district serves a diverse student population, with both schools having relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rates.

Lakeview Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 28% of Minnesota elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both math and reading proficiency across all grade levels. In contrast, Lakeview Secondary has more mixed academic results, with proficiency rates closer to or slightly below the district and state averages.

While Lakeview Secondary has a reasonable 84.2% four-year graduation rate and 4.4% dropout rate, there may be room for improvement in these areas. Additionally, the lower student-teacher ratio at Lakeview Elementary compared to the secondary school suggests the elementary school may have more resources and individual attention for its students, contributing to its stronger academic performance.
