Quality Profile

This annual publication, mailed to every household and business in both West Chester and Liberty townships, is designed to give every Lakota resident a quick look at the major priorities and areas of focus driving our daily work.

“The state report card is just one tool for measuring our progress toward meeting state-directed benchmarks,” said Lakota Superintendent Matthew Miller. “But we go beyond the state minimums in so many areas, meaning there’s a lot of good work that doesn’t get captured and shared in the report card. This piece is designed to fill that gap by showcasing our performance in areas we value most, as well as sharing our goals for future growth.”

This year’s Quality Profile zooms in on six key areas, including: Academics, the Student Experience, Parent & Community Engagement, Safety & Security, Finances and the Future.
