We have had 3 children with varying needs and skill level attend Lakeview from 2014 to 2024 and are very glad to be in its boundaries! Lakeview is the smallest school in the Norman district and it has a family feel to it. The teachers and staff know all the students names (and even most of the parents). There are numerous opportunities to be as involved as you could want to be as a parent, but even as a working parent without much time to spend at school itself I felt very much "in-the-know" about school events.As with all Oklahoma schools, it seems that there are always more first-year teachers than one would hope to see (but that is true across the state and is due to the poor salary and support given statewide to education). There are also many experienced teachers on staff and we've been generally pleased with the teachers our kids have had over the years. Anecdotally there seems to be a wide range of income levels attending Lakeview - there are numerous wealthy homeowners on large acreages but there are also many lower income families from trailers out in the country and children being raised by their grandparents. This seemed beneficial and our kids never had any problems with other students being judgy about things like clothes or cellphones. In general the student class seems accepting and open.We would choose to attend Lakeview if given a choice.
