LakeView Technology Academy is a vocational high school in the Kenosha Unified School District (KUSD) in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. It serves students grades 9 to 12 from all across KUSD with a focus on STEM education. LakeView opened in the fall of 1997 as a response to overcrowding in KUSD. The school also has partnerships with the Kenosha Area Business Alliance and Gateway Technical College.[3] LakeView is ranked the 335th best high school in the nation, making it the 4th best in Wisconsin.[4]

History

In June 2022, it was announced by the school board of the Kenosha Unified School District that they have approved the relocation of LakeView to the former location of the Chrysler plant in Kenosha. The new location will provide improved accessibility from the previous location. There will also be new facilities constructed on the property for the use of Gateway Technical College students in Kenosha.[5]

Students at LakeView have the opportunity to earn college credits in High School due to the school's partnership with Gateway.
