My best experience at Lakewood high school over the past four years has been when I was in band and the journalism program. I haven't really had bad experience
8/9/2023
The CAT program there is underfunded with a lot of run down equipment and infrastructure. The overall school is okay but it feels like they could do better. A lot of the good experienced teachers are leaving.
6/27/2023
Lakewood has astute teachers who do their job well and understand their students. I feel safe in my environment and enjoy the activities around the campus.
