Summary

Lakewood Middle School is a public middle school located in Hebron, Ohio, serving 386 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Lakewood Local District, which is ranked 393 out of 828 districts in Ohio and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lakewood Middle School's academic performance is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 45% to 65% across different subjects and grade levels. However, the school stands out in its performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam, where it consistently achieves proficiency rates of 85% or higher, significantly exceeding the state and district averages. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and special education students performing relatively well, while male students and white students rank in the bottom half of Ohio middle schools. Additionally, Lakewood Middle School has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.5% to 24.0% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Liberty Union Middle School, Watkins Middle School, and Granville Middle School, Lakewood Middle School's performance is generally lower. However, its performance on the Algebra I end-of-course exam is on par with or even exceeds that of these nearby schools, suggesting a potential strength in mathematics instruction. The school's relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with nearly half of the student population qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, may contribute to its overall academic challenges.
