Lakeview Middle School

Q: Is Lakeview Middle School a good school?

Lakeview Middle School ranks 163 rd of 485 Indiana middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Lakeview Middle School is a public middle school serving 477 students in grades 7-8 in Warsaw, Indiana, which is part of the Warsaw Community Schools district. While the district is ranked 127 out of 381 in Indiana and has a 3-star rating, Lakeview Middle School faces some challenges compared to nearby schools.

Lakeview Middle School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with only 43.42% of students proficient or better in ILEARN/English Language Arts and 36.22% in ILEARN/Math, compared to the district's 43.68% and 45.78%, respectively. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 18.7%, compared to 19.5% at Edgewood Middle School and 15.5% at Indian Springs Middle School. Additionally, Lakeview Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 59.54%, compared to 44.69% at Edgewood Middle School and 32.97% at Indian Springs Middle School.

Despite the higher spending per student at Lakeview Middle School ($9,949 in 2021-2022) compared to Edgewood Middle School ($9,288) and Indian Springs Middle School ($8,738), the academic performance does not seem to be commensurate with the investment. This could suggest that the school may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and explore more effective ways to utilize the available funding to improve student outcomes. Additionally, the school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (33.12%) and a lower percentage of White students (59.96%), is not reflected in the test score performance, where Lakeview lags behind the district and state averages.

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.
