Lake Forest School District
Lake Forest School District organizes early learning across three K–3 primary campuses—East, North, and South elementary schools. Students advance to Central Elementary for grades 4–5, W.T. Chipman Middle for grades 6–8, and Lake Forest High School for grades 9–12.
Delaware School Choice provides an avenue to attend a school outside a child's assigned attendance area, governed by program criteria and grade capacity. When applications exceed openings, lotteries operate within established priority categories. Families accepted through School Choice provide their own transportation or coordinate pickup at existing bus stops within the attendance zone. Students not yet enrolled in a Delaware public school must register at their resident feeder school before applying.
At Lake Forest High, the specialized Academy of Finance combines three sequential career-technical courses with hands-on financial training and an 80-hour professional internship, qualifying graduates for prestigious NAFTrack career certification.
