Summary:

The Lakewood School District in the Arlington/Marysville area operates five schools serving about 2,700 students from elementary through high school, but it ranks in the bottom quarter of districts in Washington state.

Among the elementary schools, Cougar Creek Elementary School stands out for its strength in math and science, while English Crossing Elementary performs best in English Language Arts; in contrast, Lakewood Elementary School faces significant academic challenges and is rated in the state's lowest 10%. Student performance tends to drop at Lakewood Middle School, and the district's high school has particularly concerning outcomes.

The district's biggest struggle is at Lakewood High School, where math proficiency is critically low at 13%, the dropout rate is above the state average, and the graduation rate lags behind. Despite the district spending more per student than the state average, academic proficiency across all schools falls well below Washington averages, especially in math and English, indicating persistent systemic challenges that affect student achievement.
