Summary

Lakewood Elementary is a K–5 school in the Overland Park area, serving 456 students in the Blue Valley district. Its 2025–2026 results place it among the stronger nearby schools, though performance varies by subject and grade. The most important takeaway is that proficiency is well above Kansas averages in all three tested subjects, including 70% in science compared with 38% statewide.

Lakewood is strongest against nearby schools in ELA, where 75% proficiency ranks fourth among 11 schools and is 2 percentage points above the nearby-school average. Science proficiency is 70%, fifth among the 11 and 1 point above the nearby average; math is 68%, sixth and 1 point above that average. Compared with the state, Lakewood is ahead by 29 points in ELA, 27 in math and 32 in science. Science is also 8 points above the district, while ELA is 5 points above. Math is the relative weak spot: its result is 1 point below the district. Grade-level results also vary: fourth-grade ELA is a standout at 79%, the second-highest nearby result, while third-grade ELA is 65%, below the district and the third-lowest among nearby schools.

Results have risen since 2022–2023—by 6 points in ELA, 2 in math and 10 in science—but all three subjects have eased from earlier peaks. SchoolDigger rates Lakewood five stars and ranks it 38th of 657 schools, at the 94th percentile; its percentile was 98 the year before. A notable difference in SchoolDigger’s statewide measure of how well the school serves Asian students is a 65th-percentile ranking, below the school’s overall 94th percentile and down from 86th in 2023–2024. The student–teacher ratio is 13.7, near the middle of the nearby range, and 12% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, close to the nearby average. These figures offer context but do not explain student results.
