Students find success in District 194
Though the city of Lakeville is served by three different public school districts, they all share a common goal of excellence.
Independent School District 196( which also includes Rosemount, Apple Valley and Eagan) and Independent School District 192 in Farmington serve portions of northern and eastern Lakeville. The Lakeville Area Public Schools Independent School District 194 serves the majority of Lakeville households. District 194 is an award-winning school system that includes more than 12,000 students in Dakota and Scott counties, and covers 86 square miles, including most of Lakeville, parts of Burnsville and Elko New Market and Credit River, and portions of Eureka, New Market and Spring Lake townships. There are nine elementary schools( grades K-5), three middle schools( grades 6-8) and two high schools( grades 9-12), Lakeville Pathways Academy for grades 10-12, Lakeville Online Academy and a community education facility.
In May 2026, district voters approved a $ 139 million bond referendum, which will provide funding to build classroom additions to the three middle schools and make other improvements.
The work is in response to student population growth in the district.
