Summary

Lakewood Elementary is a PK–8 school in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin, serving 263 students as part of the Twin Lakes #4 School District. The school ranked 597th of 1,039 Wisconsin schools in 2025–2026 (43rd percentile, 2 stars), and it has improved over the past decade from the 20th–25th percentile range with 1 star in 2015–2018 to the 36th–47th percentile range with 2 stars in recent years. Its district ranks 299th of 432 districts (31st percentile, 2 stars), which means Lakewood is a relative bright spot within its own district.

What stands out most is attendance. In 2024–2025, chronic absenteeism was 4.4%, nearly identical to the district's 4.3% and far below the state's 17.3% — lower than almost every nearby school except Winkler Elementary (0.5%). The school also has the lowest student–teacher ratio among nearby schools at 9.5, and spends $17,779 per student, third-highest in the nearby group. Low socio-economic status students ranked in the 64th percentile statewide (3 stars) in 2025–2026, up from 39th percentile a year earlier and well above the school's overall 43rd percentile.

Academically, results are mixed. Math is close to state averages (about 52.8% vs. roughly 53.7%), while ELA lags (about 47.5% vs. roughly 54.0%). Eighth-grade social studies is strong (72.41% vs. state 64.63%), but 4th-grade ELA (31.25%) and science (43.75% vs. state 53.46%) are weak, as is middle-school math. Several nearby schools outperform Lakewood despite similar or lower resources — Randall Consolidated School (82nd percentile), Bristol Elementary (73rd), and Star Center Elementary (69th). Special education students ranked 18th–21st percentile in 2022–2024, an area needing attention.

Open Quote Administration is bad. They lose 10+ teachers each year due to bad work conditions. Admin allows students to run the school- kids give teachers concussions, broken noses, and bite them without consequence because school is scared to lose enrollment which is already severely low. Students open enroll elsewhere for many reasons. Close Quote
