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.

For what it was in 2022 when I graduated, the potential was only just th e starting to show itself. There were new classes being added and a few atmospherical upgrades being made. While it was disappointing that I can't be there to see what I hope is LHS in its element. I'm happy for the incoming class as they have a lot to look forward to.

I did 3 of my 4 year high school career in Lakewood High School and I cannot complain. I know Lakewood has a bad reputation, but I absolutely loved Lakewood. There's a lot of stupid drama that may happen but it doesn't interfere with the teachers teaching. I have to say something about the teachers...
