Summary:
The Lakeville Area Schools district in Minnesota is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools vary in size, student demographics, academic performance, and other key metrics, with some standout institutions that consistently excel and others that lag behind.
Cherry View Elementary and Lakeview Elementary are the top-performing elementary schools in the district, ranking in the top 100 and 160 schools in Minnesota respectively. These schools significantly outperform the Lakeville Area Schools district and state averages on academic assessments, with proficiency rates 10-20 percentage points higher. In contrast, Huddleston Elementary and Orchard Lake Elementary lag behind, with proficiency rates 5-15 percentage points below the district averages.
The schools' student demographics also vary, with White students making up 60-80% of the student bodies and free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 13.59% at Cherry View Elementary to 37.53% at Orchard Lake Elementary. This suggests a potential link between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes, as the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance. Additionally, the virtual Lakeville Online Academy-Elementary stands out with significantly lower test scores compared to the other elementary schools, highlighting the challenges that online learning can present for younger students.
