Summary:
The Lakewood School District in Washington state consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Among the Lakewood schools, Cougar Creek Elementary School and English Crossing Elementary stand out as the top-performing schools, ranking 750th and 717th respectively out of 1,168 elementary schools in Washington. These two schools have the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, outperforming the district and state averages. They also have the lowest percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients and spend the most per student with the lowest student-teacher ratios among the Lakewood schools.
In contrast, Lakewood High School and Lakewood Middle School lag behind the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Math, and Science.
