GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Lakewood High School was a good experience for me as a student. I attended between 2017 and 2021, which meant half of my experience was during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this reason, there was a rough period of transition, but the school did its best in such unprecedented times.

I know they have tr...

I’m a recent International Baccalaureate or IB graduate who graduated from Lakewood in 2018 and I think that the school was quite frankly as good as you can get. I had great teachers and the student body was very close. The only pitfall or contention that I had was in there being a definite liberal...
