Summary

Lake View Elementary is a public elementary school serving 375 students in grades PK-5 in Lake View, South Carolina, which is part of the Dillon 04 school district.

Lake View Elementary faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 22.5% to 41.2% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state average. The school's test scores are consistently lower than state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with only 25% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and just 20.9% of 3rd graders and 21.5% of 5th graders meeting or exceeding math standards. The school's rankings for various student subgroups are all in the bottom 25% of schools in the state, suggesting equity concerns.

While Lake View Elementary spends more per student than the state average, the school has not shown meaningful improvement in its performance over the past decade, remaining in the bottom quartile of South Carolina elementary schools. The challenges facing Lake View Elementary appear to be systemic issues within the Dillon 04 district, as the other elementary schools in the district, such as Stewart Heights, Gordon, and East, also perform similarly with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism.
