Summary

Lakeshore Elementary is a K–5 school in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, serving 314 students as part of the Eau Claire Area School District. It currently ranks 665th of 1,039 elementary schools in the state — the 36th percentile, with 2 stars — placing it below the district's overall standing (48th percentile, 2 stars). About 53.82% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 16.4%, the student-teacher ratio was 10.7, and per-student spending was $18,083.

Compared with nearby schools in the same district, Lakeshore sits near the bottom of the group: only Longfellow Elementary ranks lower. Meadowview Elementary, Manz Elementary, Robbins Elementary, and Northwoods Elementary all rank in the 65th–79th percentile, with simple proficiency averages roughly 13–20 points higher. Attendance is the clearest local difference: Lakeshore's 16.4% chronic absenteeism is about double the nearby average of roughly 8.7%. Notably, Northwoods serves a similar share of low-income students (51.97%) yet performs much better, and Lakeshore's student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is lower than most neighbors — so class size and spending do not appear to be what's holding results back.

On the 2025–2026 Forward Exam, 3rd grade was the weakest area: ELA was 15.2 points below the state and math 19.7 points below. Math was below district and state averages in every tested grade. Bright spots include 4th grade ELA (58.33%, above the state's 53.87%) and 4th grade social studies (65.00%, near the state's 65.51%). Subgroup results show real gaps: low-income students ranked at the 16th percentile (1 star), special education students at the 25th percentile (1 star), and English Language Learner students have ranked at the 1st–4th percentile (0 stars) in reported years. One promising result: Hispanic students ranked at the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2025–2026, though it's a single year. The most important areas to watch are 3rd grade reading and math, math across grades, attendance, and support for low-income, ELL, and special education students.
