Summary

Lakeview Elementary is a PK–5 school in Whitewater, Wisconsin, serving 209 students as part of the Whitewater Unified School District, which ranks in the lower third of Wisconsin districts. Lakeview itself ranks 585th of 1,039 schools statewide (44th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26 — a meaningful jump from 758th of 1,044 (27th percentile, 1 star) the year before, though still well below its 2017–18 peak of 60th of 1,025 (94th percentile, 5 stars).

Academically, results are uneven. Fourth grade is a clear bright spot: Lakeview's 4th-grade reading, math, social studies, and science all beat district and state averages — and also beat same-district Washington Elementary and Lincoln Elementary. Math overall (about 56.2% proficient across tested grades) is above district and state. Reading is the weak spot: 5th-grade ELA was 33.33% and 5th-grade math 39.39%, both well behind Washington and Lincoln, and 3rd-grade ELA (43.33%) also trailed district and state.

Attendance has improved dramatically, from roughly 24% chronic absenteeism in 2020–21 through 2022–23 to 5.9% in 2024–25 — better than the district (7.7%) and the state (17.3%). The school spends $19,488 per student with a 10.4:1 student-to-teacher ratio, more resources and smaller classes than most neighbors, including higher-scoring Tibbets Elementary and Harmony Elementary. About 48.8% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Special education effectiveness is a relative strength, and results for low-income students rose to the 61st percentile. Lakeview outperforms Darien Elementary and Turtle Creek Elementary, but sits behind schools in the Elkhorn Area School District and Milton School District.
