The Lake Oswego School District (7J) is a public school district serving Lake Oswego, Oregon, United States, a suburb about 7 miles (11 km) south of Portland. The district comprises 10 primary and secondary schools with a total enrollment of 6,854 during the 2022-23 school year. [2]
Lakewood School was built in 1928. [3] The school closed in 1979 and the Lakewood Center for the Arts began leasing the building in 1980. [4] The center made its final payment to purchase the building from the school district in 1987.
In 2011, the school board approved the closure of three elementary schools as a cost-saving measure. [5] Palisades Elementary was closed in 2012 and Bryant and Uplands Elementary Schools were closed in 2013. It was estimated that the closures would save the district about $2.3 million a year. After the plan was completed, the former Bryant Elementary building became a part of Lakeridge Junior High School and the district's junior high schools switched to sixth through eighth grade. Sixth grade was previously part of the elementary schools. In 2015, a majority of the former Palisades Elementary building was leased to the Lake Oswego Parks and Recreation Department. [6]
The Oregonian reported in March 2018 that LOSD schools have faced numerous racist incidents over many years. [7] Students from Lake Oswego Junior High School walked out in protest in February 2018, because following a racist note passing incident. They were frustrated, because this was not the first racist incident. [8]
In the 2022-23 school year, 67.9% of students were White, 11.5% Multiracial, 10.5% Asian, 8.9% Hispanic/Latino, 0.8% Black/African American, 0.2% Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, and 0.2% American Indian/Alaska Native. [2]
