Summary

Lakewood Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 478 students in the Lodi Unified School District, operating in a district context that faces significant academic challenges.

Academically, Lakewood's test scores are generally below state averages, but it shows important strengths, particularly in mathematics where it outperforms the district and several nearby schools like Heritage Elementary and Clyde W. Needham Elementary, despite serving a student population with high economic need. The school has made impressive progress in improving student attendance, now beating the district average. Notably, its sixth graders excel in English Language Arts. However, performance varies significantly between girls and boys, and support for special education students has been inconsistent in recent years.

When compared to neighbors, Lakewood's overall rank is actually higher than many, such as George Washington Elementary and Lawrence Elementary. A key comparison is with the exceptionally high-performing Vinewood Elementary, located just over a mile away, which demonstrates that strong results are achievable within the same district. Lakewood operates with relatively efficient spending per student compared to most area schools.
