Lakeview School is an alternative program designed for students in grades 6-12 who have a history of chronic misbehavior and/or have received long-term suspension.

There are seven different components of the school developed to address the specific needs of our students. The staff works with students and their families to design curriculum and personal behavior plans based on each individual student's situation. Students remain in the designated program for a determined period of time or until they meet stated goals and then return to their home school or a less restrictive environment.

Typically, eligible students are chronically disruptive in their home school and may be offered placement in Lakeview's middle or high school programs as an alternative to out-of-school suspension.  Students receiving long-term suspensions must attend our middle/high school programs to continue their academic studies in order to receive course credit.
