Summary

Lakewood Middle is a highly-ranked public middle school in Overland Park, Kansas, serving 551 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Blue Valley School District, which is ranked 4th out of 264 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Lakewood Middle has consistently been one of the top-performing middle schools in Kansas, ranking within the top 20 for the past several years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakewood Middle's academic performance is exceptional, with students consistently outperforming state and district averages in standardized tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 71.86% of Lakewood Middle students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 70.66% in the Blue Valley district and 44.47% statewide. The school also excels in serving diverse student populations, ranking highly for its performance with female, male, Asian, Hispanic, and multi-racial students, as well as students with special needs and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Lakewood Middle's performance is on par with or exceeds that of other highly-ranked Blue Valley middle schools, such as Aubry Bend, Prairie Star, and Harmony Middle. This suggests that the district's focus on academic excellence and equity is reflected in the strong performance of its middle schools. While Lakewood Middle is a high-performing school, the increase in chronic absenteeism rates over the years is a potential area of concern that the school and district may want to address.
