As part of the West Ottawa Public School District, Lakewood Elementary has consistently been one of the top-performing elementary schools in the state, ranking within the top 50 schools in Michigan for the past several years.

Lakewood Elementary School's academic performance is exceptional, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the district and across the state in both English Language Arts and Math. In the 2024-2025 school year, 69.6% of 3rd-grade students and 76% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to just 44.8% and 42.3% for the district, respectively. The school's math performance is equally impressive, with 63% of 3rd-graders, 70% of 4th-graders, and 62.5% of 5th-graders achieving proficiency or better, far surpassing the district and state averages.

Lakewood Elementary School's academic excellence extends beyond overall performance, with the school also ranking highly for various student subgroups, including male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

The school also ranked 32nd out of 1,346 Michigan elementary schools for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with a 5-star rating. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 15.7% in 2021-2022 to 29.5% in 2023-2024, which may require further investigation and targeted interventions.
