CPS publishes no school ranking — it retired its 1+/1/2+ levels — so these sit beside the district average rather than a position in a list.
About LAKE VIEW HS

As a STEM school, we teach critical thinking, 21st Century Skills and Habits of Mind in all courses from Art to World Studies, and in a variety of math and science courses and electives including Forensic Science, IT Problem Solving, and Web Design.

Frequently asked questions
- How do you get into Lake View High School?
- Rank it on your GoCPS application by November 13. Lake View High School offers Early College STEM & STEAM, AP Capstone — each program has its own admission route, and several take no admissions test at all.
- Does Lake View High School have a ranking?
- No — and neither does any CPS school. The district retired its 1+/1/2+ school levels, so any ranking you see comes from a third party, not CPS. What CPS does publish is on this page: the graduation and college-enrollment rates beside the district average.
