Lakeview Middle School

Lakeview Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 within the Greenville County School District, providing core academic instruction, elective courses, athletics, and health services to approximately 600 students. The school is funded primarily through state and local tax revenues, operating as a key neighborhood institution that supports student achievement and community engagement in the Greenville area. With an estimated staff of 45-50 full-time employees, including teachers, administrators, support personnel, and coaches, Lakeview maintains a stable workforce focused on delivering a comprehensive educational experience. The school’s annual budget, derived from per-pupil funding allocations, falls in the $5 million to $8 million range, reflecting its size and the district’s investment in facilities and programs. Lakeview Middle School represents a strong EBP prospect because applying the $1,190 per W-2 employee annual savings yields an estimated $53,550 to $59,500 in yearly tax credit optimization for the school. The Principal, as the decision‑maker for benefits and budgeting, would be motivated by the opportunity to redirect these recurring savings toward classroom resources, teacher professional development, or enhanced student support programs. Additionally, offering a competitive benefits package through EBP can aid in teacher retention and reduce turnover, addressing a critical pain point for public schools striving to maintain instructional continuity and high academic standards.
