Summary

Lakewood High School is a public high school located in Hebron, Ohio, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 483 students. The school is part of the Lakewood Local School District, which is ranked 393 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakewood High School has seen a steady improvement in its four-year graduation rate, reaching 96.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average and compares favorably to nearby schools like Licking Valley High School (93.6%) and Liberty Union High School (97.9%). However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 35.6% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is notably higher than the state average and most nearby schools.

Lakewood High School's performance on state tests is mixed, with the school excelling in subjects like American Government but struggling in subjects like Geometry. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for its special education and low socioeconomic status students but struggling with its gifted and talented student population. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting it is not keeping pace with improvements in other Ohio high schools, and it lags behind the top-performing school in the area, Granville High School.
