Lake Bluff Elementary School opened in late September 2009 after a referendum passage in 2007 that provided the funds for the $20 million, 82,000-square-foot school. As a result, East School and West School were closed.
Lake Bluff Elementary is part of School District 65. It hosts kindergarten through 5th-grade students and offers advanced placement classes. Students continue on to Lake Bluff Middle School and then to Lake Forest High School.
