About the District

Students walk to neighborhood schools and enjoy a wide variety of programming to meet the educational needs of every student. While academic achievement is a top priority, the District also looks to create opportunity-rich environments that allow our students to explore beyond the classroom walls. Partnerships with local colleges and universities, West Shore Career-Technical District, and our Community Recreation and Education Department provide many educational options for students and families.

In the last 17 years, our 4,200-student district has renovated or rebuilt seven elementary schools (grades PreK-5), two middle schools (grades 6-8) and added two new wings to Lakewood High School, an academic wing of additional classrooms and a performing arts and physical education wing that includes a community fitness center. The District also offers an online learning program for grades K-12 and an alternative education program for grades 6-12. The Lakewood City Schools has among the best school facilities and the best technological support for teaching and learning that can be found in our area.
