Summary:
Zip code 97630 is home to a single middle-level school: Daly Middle School in Lakeview, which serves grades 7 and 8 and enrolls 126 students. It is the only middle school in the area and belongs to Lake County School District 7, a mid-pack district (52nd percentile, 3 stars) that currently ranks above the school itself (33rd percentile, 2 stars).
Test results for 2025-2026 split sharply by grade level. Seventh grade is the bright spot: 53.6% met the math standard, more than 20 points above the state's 33.3%, and 46.4% met the ELA standard, slightly above the state's 45.3%. Eighth grade tells a different story — ELA proficiency is 19.2% against 41.5% statewide, and science is 11.3% versus 27.7% for eighth grade statewide. Math overall (34.9%) is the only subject where the school beats the state (32.9%); ELA (28.8%) and science (11.3%) trail by wide margins. In short, whatever is working in grade 7 is not carrying into grade 8, and science is the weakest area.
Context matters here. About 83.33% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, per-student spending is $15,756, and the student-teacher ratio is 25.2 to 1 — roughly five teachers for the whole school. Chronic absenteeism is 44.8%, above both the district (37.2%) and the state (33.5%), which likely holds results back. Because the school is small, year-to-year swings should be read cautiously, and the grade-level figures are a more precise picture than the "All Grades" totals.
