Lakeside Middle

Summary:

Lakeside Middle is a public middle school located in Perris, California, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 1,085 students. The school is part of the Val Verde Unified School District, which is ranked 1002 out of 1568 districts in California and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Lakeside Middle faces significant challenges in improving its academic performance and addressing the high rates of chronic absenteeism among its students. The school's performance lags behind both the state and nearby district schools, such as Tomas Rivera Middle and March Middle, particularly in core subject areas like English Language Arts and Mathematics. In 2023-2024, only 35.66% of Lakeside Middle students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 47.04% statewide, and the proficiency rate in Mathematics was just 12.04%, compared to 35.54% statewide. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggling the most.

Despite these challenges, Lakeside Middle's homeless student population has shown some promising results, with a 4-star rating in 2021-2022, which is significantly higher than the school's overall rating. This suggests that the school may be providing effective support and resources for its homeless students. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 984 out of 2259 California middle schools in 2011-2012 to 2050 out of 2777 in 2023-2024, indicating that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other middle schools in the state.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
