Summary

Lakeland High is a public high school located in Deepwater, Missouri, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 180 students. The school is part of the Lakeland R-III school district, which is ranked 342 out of 367 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeland High consistently performs below the state average on MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) tests across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were 22.7% in 8th grade ELA and 13.9% in Biology I, compared to the state averages of 42.2% and 37.3%, respectively. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 212 out of 460 high schools in 2018-2019 to 337 out of 367 in 2024-2025. Lakeland High also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 22.4% to 35.7% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Lakeland High's performance is significantly worse than the nearby Appleton City High, Montrose High, and Osceola Junior-Senior High on academic measures such as MAP test proficiency rates and graduation rates. For example, in 2024-2025, Appleton City High had 34.9% proficiency in 7th grade ELA, compared to Lakeland High's 22.7%, and Montrose High had a 100% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, while Lakeland High's rate was 85.7%. The declining trend in Lakeland High's statewide ranking and academic proficiency rates over the years is a significant concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
