Our History

Lake Shore Elementary School is one of the older schools in the district. The first Lake Shore school was built in the early 1880s. The original building still stands on the south side of Burnt Bridge Creek.

A second Lake Shore was built circa 1894 and was located at NW 21st Avenue and 94th Street. The building later was torn down in 1961.

The school consolidated with the Vancouver School District in July 1954. The third Lake Shore was completed in 1955. It contained 12 classrooms.

Within seven years, however, the area began to boom, enrollment increased and the school outgrew its space. For many years, parts of the student population were sent to neighboring schools, including Hazel Dell and Fruit Valley Elementary.
