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 can be a safe environment but sometimes I don't feel safe. Lakewood High School can be fun I learn new things here. I love how most of the teachers get involved with the students here.

I've learned a lot during my four years of high school. Seen changes in friends and experienced negativity with administration. Lost classmates but I am able to graduate and start a new chapter in my life.
