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. Since the opening of the K-8 in the 2018-19 school year, Lakeview High School now teaches grades 9th through 12th. A new gymnasium, cafeteria, and band room were added in 1971, and Raidel Auditorium was constructed in 1996. Demographics As of 2010...

Levy Before 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 Athletics Lakeview provides the following athletic activities for its students: Boys football Boys and girls cross country Boys and girls soccer Girls volleyball Boys and girls basketball Boys and girls bowling Boys baseball Girls softball Boys and girls track and field Boys and girls golf Boys and girls tennis Boys and girls swimming and diving (unofficially) Cheerleading Ohio High School Athletic Association state championships Boys track and field – 1970 Boys cross country – 1967, 1968 Girls golf (Division II) – 2015 Music Lakeview High School provides a band program, directed by Nathan Sensabaugh, a choral program, directed by Bonnie Chronister, a music theory class for its students, taught by Chronister, and a music appreciation class, taught by Sensabaugh.
