Home of the Bobcats, Lakeland Elementary School creates an embracing and uplifting environment for its students. The school is one of two public elementary schools in the Lakeland South neighborhood of Federal Way. Lakeland Elementary serves students in prekindergarten through fifth grade. The brightly colored pink and teal school buildings were first constructed in 1952 and then rebuilt in 2011. Throughout reconstruction, the school community has been going strong the entire time with the school offering activities that complement the academic curriculum. Events include Back-to-School BBQ, Curriculum Night, Young Author’s Night, Math Night, Coffee with Families, Volunteer Tea, honor choir, Maker Space, Spirit Wear Wednesdays and more. A pride point for the school is that they regularly achieve 100% participation in their Student-Led Conferences. The school is in the western portion of the Lakeland South Neighborhood and feeds into Sequoyah Middle School. Students can expect to achieve academic goals while being surrounded by a supportive tight-knit community at Lakeland Elementary School.

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.
