Lakeview Junior High School, commonly referred to as "Lakeview," is a junior high school located in Unincorporated Downers Grove, Illinois.

Lakeview serves students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, residing in Downers Grove, Woodridge, and Darien. Notably, sixth grade is considered junior high at Lakeview, unlike most other junior high schools. Lakeview adopted a semester-based academic calendar (replacing the previous trimester-based academic calendar) after the appointment of Mr. Tim Arnold, superintendent. Lakeview is part of Center Cass School District 66.

History

Lakeview was built in 1974, and opened its doors in February 1975. The facility was an Eco friendly, cheap to build, modern school. Money was saved by only having a few windows, also adding to the modern look. The top half of the building was clad in yellow corrugated paneling. Lakeview's interior was designed as a single, large open space that contained the classrooms and the library. Open plan classrooms were common in schools built during the 1970s. Classrooms were outfitted with folding accordion walls, which could be opened (or closed) so as to connect to (or be separated from) adjacent classrooms or the library.

In summer 2002, Lakeview underwent remodeling which resulted in a second gymnasium. A new science wing was also built to increase laboratory space. Additional interior walls were added during the 2004 summer remodel.
