Summary

Lakeview Middle is a public middle school in Greenville, South Carolina, serving 753 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Greenville 01 School District, which is ranked 11th out of 75 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating. However, Lakeview Middle has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 20% of South Carolina middle schools for the past several years with 0 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

Lakeview Middle consistently underperforms compared to the Greenville 01 district and the state of South Carolina in standardized test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.7% of 6th graders, 32.5% of 7th graders, and 39.7% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 60.7%, 63%, and 60.9% for the Greenville 01 district, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates are even lower, with only 23.1% of 6th graders, 8.6% of 7th graders, and 23.6% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the district's 46.6%, 41%, and 40.7%. Lakeview Middle also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.9% to 40.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Lakeview Middle's academic performance is significantly lower than the nearby Northwood Middle, Beck International Academy, and League Academy, which all rank in the top 25% of South Carolina middle schools and have much higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite spending more per student ($13,622 in 2023-2024) compared to the Greenville 01 district average ($11,300 for Northwood Middle) and the state average, the additional funding does not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for Lakeview Middle.
