Summary

Lakeview School is a small public high school serving grades 6-12 in Durham, North Carolina, part of the Durham Public Schools district. With only 70 students, Lakeview School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-20% of high schools in the state over the past decade, maintaining a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakeview School's performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 5% of 7th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 49.9% for the district and 53.5% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has also declined from 87.7% in 2024-2025 to just 50.0% in 2022-2023. This poor performance extends to specific student subgroups, with Lakeview ranking in the bottom 5-10% of schools in the state for female students, male students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

In contrast, nearby schools in the Durham Public Schools district, such as J.D. Clement Early College High School, Southern School of Energy and Sustainability, and Durham School of the Arts, generally have much higher test scores, graduation rates, and overall rankings. Despite being part of the same district, Lakeview School has not shown any meaningful improvement in its performance over the past decade, suggesting the need for significant interventions and support to address the root causes of its poor outcomes.
