Named for the area near Capitol Beach Lake, Lakeview School was a one-teacher school on West P Street until 1923 when the present building was constructed at 300 Capitol Beach Boulevard. It was constructed by the district’s own employees, who requested and were granted the opportunity to demonstrate that their building skills equaled those of the contractors building other LPS schools at the time. The school was very lightly used until 1945 when new development in the area spurred growth.
Additions were completed in 1963 and 1974. Currently, Lakeview is the academic home of approximately 300 K-5 students from five different neighborhood areas.
