Summary

Lakewood School is an elementary school located in Carpentersville, Illinois, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 534 students. The school is part of the Community Unit School District 300, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakewood School significantly underperforms compared to the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 27.5% of Lakewood students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 49.2% for the district and 53.1% for the state. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 20.9%, compared to 38.8% for the district and 38.5% for the state. Lakewood School also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.3% to 26.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Lakewood School's academic performance and other key metrics lag significantly behind the nearby schools in the same district, such as Algonquin Lakes Elementary, Sleepy Hollow Elementary, and Dundee Highlands Elementary. These schools consistently outperform Lakewood School across all subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates that are 20-30 percentage points higher. The high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and special education/ELL enrollment at Lakewood School may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and addressing these key issues could be crucial in improving the school's performance.
