Lake County School District 7

Schools in Lake County School District 7 include four schools—two elementary, one middle, and one high school—serving students in rural Lake County, Oregon, with a total enrollment of 678 and grades spanning K–12 across the schools. The district is ranked 68th of 141 in Oregon, at the 52nd percentile with 3 stars, a mid-pack result that masks wide differences among its schools. Fremont/Hay Elementary School is the largest at 275 students (K–6). Lakeview Senior High School enrolls 235 students (9–12), Daly Middle School has 126 students (7–8), and Union Elementary School is the smallest at 42 students (K–7). Test scores are mostly 2025–2026, while attendance, spending, ratios, and graduation are 2024–2025.

For parents comparing schools, Union Elementary School stands out academically: 60% ELA and 52% math, with 7.3% chronic absenteeism, far below district and state. But it is very small, and some science and grade-level scores are suppressed by the state, so those are unknown, not zero. Lakeview Senior High School has the strongest ELA (67.6%) and science (37.5%) and an 87.5% graduation rate, but math is only 8.6%, far below state. Daly Middle School has a bright spot in 7th-grade math (53.6%), yet 8th-grade ELA (19.2%) and science (11.3%) are low, and it has the highest chronic absenteeism (44.8%), highest student-teacher ratio (25.2), and lowest per-student spending ($15,756). Fremont/Hay Elementary School is stable and mid-range, with science at 34.1% above state and chronic absenteeism at 33.5%.

Districtwide, proficiency trails the state: ELA 41.7% vs 43.8%, math 31% vs 32.9%, and science 26.9% vs 30.6%. Attendance is a challenge except at Union Elementary School. In rankings, Lakeview Senior High School improved to 108th of 271 (60th percentile, 3 stars), Daly Middle School improved to 250th of 371 (33rd percentile, 2 stars), Fremont/Hay Elementary School is stable at 388th of 709 (45th percentile, 2 stars), and Union Elementary School has no current rank listed. Resource patterns are notable but not proof of cause. Overall, the district has strong subject-specific results at some schools and significant gaps at others, so families should compare fit, supports, and subject strengths.
