Summary

Lakeview Elementary is a mid-sized elementary school in Greenwood, SC, serving 426 students in grades PK-5 within the highly rated Greenwood 50 district. The school has been on a remarkable upward trajectory, jumping from the 36th percentile statewide in 2021-2022 to the 72nd percentile in 2024-2025, before settling at the 64th percentile for the current school year.

Lakeview shows exceptional strength in serving specific groups of students. In the 2024-2025 school year, its African American students ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide, and its low-income students—who make up 100% of the student body—ranked in the 85th percentile. Female students consistently perform well, ranking in the 78th percentile in both recent years. However, there is a significant gender gap: male students rank only in the 48th percentile, a 30-point difference that suggests instructional strategies may be more effective for girls. Academically, 5th-grade ELA is a standout at 77.9% proficiency, well above the state average of 63.6%, while 4th-grade math is a concern at 51% proficiency, below both district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Lakeview is a solid mid-tier performer. It trails Hodges Elementary, the area's academic leader (95th-96th percentile), but performs similarly to Woodfields Elementary (66th percentile) and Dr. Benjamin E. Mays Elementary (69th percentile). It is a far stronger option than Greenwood Charter Academy, located just 0.66 miles away, which ranks in the 22nd percentile. The school's most pressing challenge is its chronic absenteeism rate, which nearly doubled to 29.8%—the highest among comparable schools and well above the state average of 22.3%. Addressing this attendance crisis will be critical to sustaining the school's recent academic gains.
