Summary

Lakewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Little Rock, Arkansas, serving 428 students in grades K-5. Despite being part of the North Little Rock School District, which is ranked 203 out of 250 districts in the state, Lakewood Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Arkansas in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels.

In the 2024-2025 school year, 51.9% of Lakewood Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 21.8% for the district and 34.7% for the state. The school has been ranked among the top 25% of elementary schools in Arkansas for the past several years, with a ranking as high as 101 out of 497 schools in 2023-2024. This impressive academic performance is even more remarkable given that Lakewood Elementary has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population.

While Lakewood Elementary excels, the surrounding schools in the North Little Rock School District struggle significantly. For example, Seventh Street Elementary and Glenview Elementary rank in the bottom 10% of Arkansas elementary schools, with proficiency rates well below the state average. Even Friendship Aspire Academy North Little Rock Elementary, a public charter school, underperforms Lakewood Elementary across all subjects and grade levels, despite having a lower student-teacher ratio and spending per student.
