Lake City Community School serves approximately 100 students living in the Lake City area in pre-school through 12th grade classes.  The school calendar is based on a 4-day school week with classes meeting Tuesday through Friday.  Class sizes are small and frequently multi-level.  

In the elementary school four teachers (preschool, K-1, 2-3 and 4-5) staff the four elementary classrooms.  Secondary school students are taught by four teachers (language arts, math, science and social studies) in subject dedicated classrooms.

Secondary teachers also conduct elective classes including drama, health, journalism and life skills.  Special education staff work with all grades.

Additional part-time staff members teach art, music, Spanish, technology, health/physical education and work as instructional assistants.  The school coordinates services with the Lake City Library through a librarian who works at both libraries.

The instructional staff is experienced and dynamic, focusing on the whole child through hands on, experiential education.  An individualized educational process brings together teachers, parents and students in bi-annual conferences to set goals and assess growth with acceleration and pacing to meet individual needs.

The school, fully accredited by the State of Colorado, benefits from great parental and community support and involvement.
