History

The Lakeview Local School District was formed in 1956, with the consolidations of Cortland and Lakeview schools. Lakeview High School was built a few years later in 1961. The original middle school was constructed in 1978, with Cortland's population growing.[2] Renovations to the high school took place in 1971, with the addition of a gymnasium, cafeteria and band room. Raidel Auditorium was built in 1996.[3]

In the 2018-19 school year, Lakeview Schools consolidated the Cortland Elementary and Lakeview Middle School buildings and built a new PK-8 campus.[4] The middle school was torn down in June 2018,[5] while the old elementary school building still stands as of 2026, with the city purchasing the vacant property for $85,000 in August 2025, exploring protentional redevelopment of the former campus, including possibly turning it into a new fire station for the city.[6]
