Summary

Lakewood Elementary School in White Lake, MI, serves approximately 434 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Huron Valley Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating statewide.

Lakewood is a consistently strong performer, currently ranking in the 83rd percentile of Michigan elementary schools with a 4-star rating. What truly sets it apart is its exceptional success with all learners. The school ranks in the 93rd percentile for students from low-income backgrounds and in the 86th percentile for special education students—both well above state averages. This means Lakewood is effectively closing achievement gaps and supporting every child, not just those from privileged backgrounds. The school also boasts a strong attendance culture, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 13.5%—roughly half the state average of 27.9%. Academically, Lakewood outperforms its district in every subject and grade level, with particularly strong math scores that exceed district averages by 9 to 14 percentage points. While math proficiency does decline from 3rd to 5th grade (67.8% down to 47.5%), this mirrors a broader district and state trend, and Lakewood maintains its relative advantage throughout.

Compared to nearby schools, Lakewood ranks among the top performers in the area. It is the second-highest performing Huron Valley school in the immediate vicinity, behind Kurtz Elementary, and outperforms other district neighbors like Heritage Elementary and Oxbow Elementary. The strongest competition comes from Walled Lake Consolidated Schools, where Oakley Park Elementary and Commerce Elementary rank slightly higher. However, Lakewood's trajectory is clearly positive—it has climbed from the 56th percentile in 2021-2022 to its current 83rd percentile ranking, demonstrating that recent initiatives are delivering meaningful results for families in the White Lake area.
