Summary

Lakewood Elementary School is a public Pre-K through 5th grade school serving 458 students in the Lakewood School District of Marysville, WA, an area where over half of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academic performance at Lakewood is significantly below state averages and is the lowest among its immediate neighbors, with proficiency rates in English and math trailing nearby schools like Cougar Creek Elementary School and English Crossing Elementary by substantial margins, despite all three schools being in the same district and having similar student demographics. This performance gap has been widening, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, now placing it in the bottom 10% of all Washington elementary schools.

Notably, the school spends less per student than its same-district peers, and while its science scores are a relative strength, performance varies considerably between grade levels. Comparisons to schools in higher-performing neighboring districts, such as Kent Prairie Elementary in the Arlington School District, suggest that improvement is possible with targeted support, as these schools achieve much higher academic results with similar levels of student economic need.
