Summary

In Denville, NJ, Lakeview Elementary School serves 699 students from pre-K through grade 5, the largest enrollment among the nearby schools in this comparison. Its strongest overall message for families is that 2025–26 proficiency was above the state’s in every tested grade and subject reported.

ELA is its clearest advantage over nearby schools: the grades 3–5 average was 75%, about 20 points above the nearby-school average, and 26 points above the state. Math averaged 69%, 22 points above the state but only 2 above the Denville Township K-8 School District; it was about 15 points above nearby schools. Fifth-grade science was another standout against the district and state: 52%, compared with 45% and 27%, respectively. The school’s relative soft spot is third-grade math, where 69% proficiency was 3 points below the district; locally, it ranked fifth of 10 schools with results in that grade. By contrast, it ranked second of nine in fifth-grade ELA and science.

Results have improved over the four-year comparison in math and science, but the latest year was down from recent highs: math rose 7 points and fifth-grade science 4 points from 2022–23, while ELA fell 1 point. ELA dropped 6 points from its 2024–25 high; math and science fell 2 and 8 points, respectively. SchoolDigger ranks Lakeview 180th of 1,331 schools, at the 86th percentile with four stars—below its 90th-percentile standing the previous year, but above most nearby schools; Mount Tabor and Littleton are at the 88th percentile. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 11.9, and 11% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. Chronic absenteeism rose 3 points to 10%, above the district’s 9%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings show weaker comparative standing for Low Socio Economic Status Students: the school was at the 45th percentile, down from 80 the year before, versus 86 overall; for Asian Students, it was at the 54th percentile.
