WHY LAKE CITY SCHOOLS?
At Lake City Public Schools, we combine the warmth of a small town with the opportunities of a big, well-rounded education. Our students are known by name, supported in every way, and encouraged to explore their interests—both inside and outside the classroom.
Academics & Experiential Learning
Small Group Instruction – Elementary
At Bluff View Elementary, we prioritize personalized learning through small-group instruction in reading and math. This approach allows our dedicated educators to tailor lessons to individual student needs, fostering a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy.
Reading and Math Excellence
Our curriculum emphasizes core competencies in reading and mathematics, ensuring that students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through engaging lessons and supportive instruction, we strive to instill a lifelong love for learning.
Experiential Learning – High School
Lincoln High School offers hands-on learning opportunities that connect classroom knowledge to real-world applications. Students participate in projects like designing and building structures, such as sheds, which enhance their understanding of construction, teamwork, and project management.
Collaborative Learning Environment
We foster a collaborative classroom atmosphere where students work together on projects and problem-solving activities. This cooperative approach enhances communication skills and prepares students for collaborative work environments.
