We're thrilled to announce that Lakewood City Schools has been named a 2025 Best Community for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation for the ninth straight year! This prestigious recognition celebrates our commitment to providing exceptional music education to all students. A huge thank you to our talented music teachers, supportive families, Lakewood Music Boosters, and our entire community for creating an environment where students can discover and develop their musical talents!

The Lakewood City Schools is winding down its first year as a member of the Cleveland Browns Stay in the Game Attendance Network (SITG) and its second year of convening a District Level Attendance Team, as the District continues its shift from a reactive to proactive approach to student attendance.
