Summary

Lakewood Elementary serves grades K–6 and enrolls 478 students in Lodi, in the Lodi Unified area. In 2025–26, proficiency was 36% in English language arts (ELA), 32% in math and 30% in science—below California in every subject. The most important concern is sixth grade: Lakewood ranked ninth out of 10 nearby schools in both ELA and math, with just 16% proficient in math.

Lakewood compares best with nearby schools and the district in science and math, but ELA is a relative weakness. Its science rate was 30%, five points above the nearby-school average and four above the district; its math rate was 32%, slightly above the nearby average (32.3% versus 32.0%) and two points above the district. ELA was three points below the nearby average and four below the district. Locally, Lakewood ranked third in math, fourth in science and sixth in ELA. It still trailed the state by 13 points in ELA, six in math and six in science.

Science has made the clearest longer-term progress: proficiency rose from 20% in 2022–23 to 30% in 2025–26, and the gap with the state narrowed from 10 points to six. ELA and math are also up over those years, but each fell about four points from its 2024–25 peak. SchoolDigger places Lakewood at the 39th percentile, with 2 stars—seventh from the bottom among these 10 schools. The 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 22.7 to 1. That year, 71% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, below the nearby-school average of 78%; California is identified in the data as a statewide free-meals state. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students rose from the 6th percentile in 2023–24 to the 55th in 2025–26, a 49-point improvement in its standing for serving this group.
