Lake Shore Public Schools (Macomb)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lake Shore Public Schools is one of three school districts in St. Clair Shores, Michigan. Lake Shore is the furthest north of the three districts in St. Clair Shores.

There is one high school (Lake Shore High School), one alternative High School (North Lake Alternative), one middle school (Kennedy Middle School) and three elementary schools (Masonic Heights, James Rodgers, Violet) in the school district.

The Lake Shore district is home to 3,200 K-12 students. The district's curriculum is fully aligned with state standards and benchmarks. They have implemented an elementary mastery math program, an advanced sequence of middle school and high school mathematics and science, more rigorous graduation requirements and numerous career-based programs that integrate technology. The average teacher-to-student ratio is 1 to 22 at the elementary level and 1 to 26 at the secondary level.

All school buildings have been completely remodeled, equipped and technologically upgraded through a $32.5 million bond issue approved in 1997.

Every Lake Shore school is fully accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, having met NCA standards for quality education. In addition, Kennedy Middle School, Masonic Heights Elementary, Rodgers Elementary and Violet Elementary have achieved NCA outcomes accreditation (OA), which goes well beyond traditional standards.

Lake Shore is the only district in Macomb County to be recognized by Standard and Poor's for having higher-than-expected student achievement for the amount of money spent to educate students between 1997-2001.
