Upper School

Grades 9th - 12th

Preparing to Soar

Lakeview’s rigorous upper school curriculum includes seventeen advanced placement courses and nine honors courses divided among all content areas. The results are students who are prepared academically for college and beyond as well as possess intrinsic skills of self-advocacy and time management. The class of 2023 had a raw SAT score of 1160 compared to the U.S. public school score of 1003. Small class sizes, engaged teachers, and the support of mental health and college counselors guide students through all aspects of school. Robust programs in fine arts, innovation, and athletics complete the Lakeview upper school experience.

Lakeview prepared me exceptionally well for college. I finished my last semester at Samford with a grade of 101 in my math class while my peers struggled. There really is no comparison when it comes to college preparation.”
