I went to grade school there from 1974-1976, fourth and fifth grade. My next door neighbor was my art teacher.

after all the trees were cut down on both sides of Slusser st - on the right side of the school - because of Dutch Elm disease we lived at 249 slusser st. just across from the school yard - just right of the upper right hand side of this picture,

My husband went to that school for 4th and 5th grade and we bought the second house from the corner across from the play yard on(281 S.) Slusser, and lived there from 1993-1997! I wish traffic was like it is in that picture!!!

I went to grade school there from 1972-1976, 2nd thru fifth grade. I did not live right in town, I lived off of Alleghany Rd near Hainseville.

This was Lakeview School, part of Community Consolidated School District 46. It was sold to Westlake Christian Academy. It is located at the corner of Lake Street and Route 120 in Grayslake, IL

The school building is located at 275 S. Lake St. in the Village of Grayslake in Avon Township. This property was the original location of the Grayslake Grade School log building built in the 1850s. In the 1860s a one-room school building replaced the log building. The one-room school was moved to Hawyley Street in 1895 and is part of the Grayslake Municipal Historical Museum. It was replace by dark brick building (in photo). Since then there were additions to the building and eventually was named Woodview School. In 1951, the school was named Lakeview School and was closed in 2002. The Westlake Christian Academy in 2002 leased the building for 3 years before purchasing the property.

Just north of the school is the Grayslake Cemetery. The gas station (upper left corner) is now a park. Grays Lake is seen in the far left corner of the photo)

That's Rockenbach Chevrolet at the lower left. And Jerry Molidor's Standard Station is at the left edge near the top.
