Lake Windward Elementary opened in the fall of 1989 with an enrollment of 450 students. Since then, we have experienced steady growth as we welcomed families who have relocated from all over the United States. The enthusiasm and commitment of staff members, parents, and community support our goal to provide every child with developmentally appropriate experiences which enhance growth and expand creativity.
