The Oakwood School District, in Oak Lake in what is now the Rural Municipality of Sifton, was established formally in March 1886. Early instruction was given in a local Presbyterian church until a wood frame schoolhouse was built in the fall of 1887. That building was enlarged in 1892 but it was soon replaced. The present school building dates from 1893, when it was constructed on a design by Brandon architect Walter Henderson Shillinglaw. Using locally-manufactured cream-coloured bricks, the structure was built in three phases, with the two classrooms of the western part constructed first (1893). In Fall 1897, a third classroom was built in its basement and two more classrooms were contained in the eastern addition designed by Shillinglaw and built in Fall 1909. Renovations were made in 1921 based on work by Winnipeg architect Alexander Melville.
In 1967, it was renamed Oak Lake Consolidated School, formally combining with several nearby rural schools, including Lansdowne School No. 145, Ryerson School No. 360, Sandhurst School No. 362, Hagyard School No. 426, Johnston School No. 791, Pleasant Plains School No. 819, Runnymede School No. 851, Hesselwood School No. 913, Harvey School No. 1015, and Oakview School No. 1042.
High school grades were moved to the newly-built Oak Lake Collegiate in the fall of 1961. With the transfer of all remaining elementary grades to the new Assiniboine School in the fall of 1968, this school was then closed. It was still standing at the time of a site visit in September 2011.
