I'm only a freshman but so far I've had a wonderful time. Lakewood is a great city with a wonderful community. Lakewood High School provides an array of unique opportunities for all of their students. The music and art departments are amazing.

It's a lot better than pretty much all the schools in the surrounding area (at least, in terms of diversity, opportunity, curriculum, etc.), but administration is always a weak point. I've had tons of great teachers through the years, yet very few even halfway-decent admins (despite the fact that there have been several throughout my high school career). Ableism and misogyny are also largely-ignored issues here.

I enjoyed my time at LHS. The teachers and variety of classes made the experience even better. Go rangers!

Nothing about the school other than convenience make this school or school district for that matter anything special. If your moving to Ohio or this area I would reall...

Excellent, my son is fully prepared for college.

We came from a Catholic school with a very homogenous student body, all like my son. Teaching there was not very creative and differences on both ends of the spectrum not valued. LHS is diverse and inclusive. Focus is on learning for all kids, not just high test scores. Very positive first year expe...

Lakewood high has much to be proud of! They have a wide variety of academic courses and the music program is outstanding. Best in the state, especially the orchestra program. LHS provides great opportunities for its students and they are lead by dedicated, passionate teachers. Highly recommend
