The city government acquired the school building, converted it into a community center, and sold it since the price of heating was cost prohibitive. As of 2014 the former school is a private residence.[4] On July 1, 1996, the Lake View-Auburn district merged into the Wall Lake View Auburn School District. That in turn merged into East Sac County on July 1, 2011.[10]

Previously the town had a Catholic school. The water treatment company Krudico acquired it in 1990.[4]
