Middle Schools in Lakeville Area Schools

The Lakeville Area Schools district in Minnesota is home to 4 middle schools, serving students in grades 6-8. Among these, Century Middle School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking among the best middle schools in the state with high proficiency rates in core subjects and a favorable student-teacher ratio.

While McGuire Middle and Kenwood Trail Middle School also serve the district, the data reveals significant differences in academic performance, with Century Middle School outpacing the others in test scores and student outcomes. Kenwood Trail Middle School, in particular, has a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its elevated free/reduced lunch rate, which may contribute to its lower proficiency levels.

In contrast, Lakeville Online Academy-Middle, the district's virtual middle school, consistently underperforms compared to its brick-and-mortar counterparts, highlighting the challenges of delivering effective online education at the middle school level. Overall, the data suggests that Lakeville Area Schools has a diverse set of middle schools, with Century Middle School emerging as the standout institution in the district.
