Lakeville Area Schools

Independent School District 194, the Lakeville Area Public Schools, is an award winning school system located in the South Metro of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul Minnesota. The District serves approximately 10,800 students in Dakota County and Scott County, and covers 86 square miles, including most of Lakeville, parts of Burnsville and Elko New Market, and portions of Eureka, Credit River and New Market Townships. There are eight elementary schools (K-5), three middle schools (6-8) and two high schools (9-12), an Area Learning Center and two Community Education facilities. On state mandated accountability tests, Lakeville Area Public Schools ranks 1st in both math and reading proficiency of the 10 largest districts in the state, and experienced the 5th largest performance gain of the 48 metro districts. Lakeville ranked 8th in overall proficiency of 48 metro districts. Our students scored 24.3 on the ACT. This is the highest score in the history of the district. While we are very proud of these achievement levels, we fully recognize and embrace the fact that there continues to be room for growth. Lakeville Area Public Schools will continue to focus on raising the achievement levels of all students during the 2011-12 school year.
