The school is part of the Lakeview Community Schools district, which is ranked 105 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lakeview High School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking over the past several years, moving from a rank of 151 out of 219 Nebraska high schools in 2017-2018 to a rank of 101 out of 168 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on ACT assessments is noteworthy, with higher proficiency rates compared to the state average in Mathematics (60.56% vs. 42.11%) and Science (52.11% vs. 48.8%) for the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, Lakeview High School's female students have performed particularly well, ranking 41st out of 132 Nebraska high schools for female students in 2021-2022, with a 4-star rating.

While Lakeview High School generally outperforms the nearby Twin River Senior High School and Schuyler Central High School in academic metrics, the nearby Leigh High School, which is part of the top-ranked Leigh Community Schools district, significantly outperforms Lakeview High School across various academic measures, including ACT proficiency rates exceeding 90% in some subjects. This presents an opportunity for Lakeview High School to investigate and implement strategies to further improve its academic performance and address the high chronic absenteeism rates.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
