Lakeside Middle School

Summary:

Lakeside Middle School is a public middle school in Lake Village, Arkansas, serving 214 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lakeside School Dist(Chicot), which is ranked 182 out of 252 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average spending per student, Lakeside Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 20.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 33.8%, and just 10.9% were proficient in mathematics, compared to the state average of 36.4%. The school's 100% free and reduced lunch rate also indicates that the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges, which can impact academic performance.

Lakeside Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Arkansas middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 10 school years. This suggests that the school is struggling to provide a quality education to its students, despite the available resources. While the low student-teacher ratio could be an opportunity to provide more individualized attention and support, this potential advantage does not seem to be translating into better test scores, indicating that a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement may be necessary to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's underperformance.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
