Summary

Lakewood Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Ann Arbor, MI, serving 258 students within the highly regarded Ann Arbor Public Schools district.

Lakewood is a solid, mid-tier performer within its immediate competitive set, ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year—a notable improvement from the previous year's 67th percentile. However, this performance is below several nearby schools like Bach Elementary School, Wines Elementary School, and Eberwhite School, which all rank in the 96th-99th percentile. For example, in 3rd-grade ELA, Lakewood's proficiency was 39.5%, compared to 75.5% at Bach. It's important to note that Lakewood serves a higher proportion of students from low socio-economic backgrounds (35.27% receiving free/reduced lunch) than most of its high-performing neighbors, which is a critical factor when comparing raw test scores. The school's performance with students of low socio-economic status ranks in only the 44th percentile, revealing a significant achievement gap within the school itself. Interestingly, Lakewood spends a substantial $22,816 per student—higher than Bach ($17,058) and Wines ($15,163)—suggesting significant resources are being invested to support its diverse student population.

There are several encouraging trends. Lakewood has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 29.5% in 2022-2023 to 20.1% in 2024-2025—better than the district average of 35.7%. Additionally, the school shows a clear pattern of improvement as students progress, with 5th-grade ELA proficiency (62.2%) significantly higher than 3rd-grade (39.5%). This suggests instructional strategies become more effective in upper elementary grades. Compared to Haisley Elementary School, which has similar demographics and a similar overall ranking, Lakewood outperforms Haisley in 5th-grade ELA and Math, indicating a particular strength in supporting student achievement in later elementary years. While performance has been volatile over the past decade, the most recent data shows a strong rebound, suggesting a positive trajectory for this community-focused school.
