LakeView Technology Academy
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.

History

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. LakeView is ranked the 234th best high school in the nation, making it the 2nd best in Wisconsin.

In June 2022, the School Board of the Kenosha Unified School District approved the relocation of LakeView to the former location of the Chrysler plant in Kenosha. The new building was completed in January 2025, with classes moving to the new building in time for the second semester.

Academics

Students at LakeView have the opportunity to earn college credits in high school due to the school's partnership with Gateway. Many of these dual credit (college credit) classes are offered at the school, as well as AP level courses.
