Like all Great Neck Union Free School District schools, Lakeville School Elementary is one of the best public schools on Long Island. In 2009, the school won a national Blue Ribbon award from the federal Dept. of Education.
Special areas of study include a reading center, art, music, physical education, instrumental music, science and technology, and English as a Second Language. Like all Great Neck Schools, Lakeville's leadership has long promulgated an anti-bullying environment.
