School Overview

Longview High School, located at 13301 West 2nd Place in Lakewood, Colorado, is a specialized educational facility operating within the Jefferson County Public School District. Unlike a traditional neighborhood high school, Longview is recognized as an "option school" designed to serve students who benefit from a smaller, more intimate learning environment. The school prioritizes individualized attention and flexible programming, making it an ideal setting for students who may struggle with the fast-paced, large-campus culture of comprehensive high schools or those who require a different approach to academic engagement.

The school’s philosophy centers on fostering strong relationships between students and staff, which serves as the foundation for both academic growth and social-emotional development. By providing a personalized experience, Longview High School aims to help students navigate challenges, overcome barriers to graduation, and earn their high school diplomas in a supportive, community-oriented atmosphere. It remains a vital resource in the Lakewood area for families seeking an alternative, student-centered pathway to secondary education.
