This article is about the former Birmingham school. For the McCalla school, see Lake View Elementary School.

Lakeview School is a former Birmingham City School located at 2800 Clairmont Avenue. It was designed by [Wheelock, Joy and Wheelock]] architects and opened in 1901 for grades 1-4, with additional classrooms for grades 5-7 completed in 1909.

Artists Frank and Martha Anderson were commissioned through the Federal Art Project of the Works Progress Administration to produce a mural of scenes of discovery for the Lakeview School. Branko Medenica's sculpture, "Resurgence" was installed at the school in 1976.

The school building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on December 17, 1977.

The building currently houses offices for Leo Ticheli Productions and others.
