Lakeview High School

Lakeview High School in Cortland, Ohio, is the only high school in the Lakeview School District. Prior to 2004, Lakeview High School taught grades eight through 12; in 2004, the 8th grade was moved to Lakeview Middle School. Since 2009, due to financial issues and the closing of Cortland Elementary School, Lakeview High School again accommodates grades eight to 12. A new gymnasium, cafeteria, and band room were added in 1971, and Raidel Auditorium was constructed in 1996.DemographicsAs of 2010...AcademicsExcluding the eighth grade, Lakeview High School offers four years of math, science, English, social studies, and foreign languages (Spanish and French). Lakeview also offers art, band, and choir as electives. AP (Advanced Placement Program) classes are taught in Calculus and English, with Honors classes Physics, Spanish IV, and French IV. Computers, Business, and Accounting (Personal Finance) is integrated with humanities, and S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) will now be offered to 8th grade students.LevyBefore May 2010, the Lakeview School District had not been able to pass a levy since 1999. As a result, the district neared debt and the school has undergone many program cuts, including the removal of busing to the state minimum and pay-to-participate sports. However, a 3.75-mill levy passed on May 4, 2010, by two votes, finally clearing Lakeview of its eleven-year-long levy drought. In a following levy in 2015, it passed again, and granting Lakeview the opportunity to build a new building, which will contain K-8
