This school has been amazing! It has molded me into the person I am today. It has everything you will every need, community, family, great staff and amazing programs. It is located in the heart of Lakewood and loves being there. The sports program thrive and compete at a very high level. My older brother graduated from there and my sister will go there as well. Family is super important to Lakewood high school.
Lakewood High School is an institution that strivers on diversity and opportunities. If diversity had a place to a name, it would be Lakewood High School through it's students. Although facilities and administration are amazing, communications from these institutions to the students lacks sometimes. Lakewood High School does offer traditional AP and IB classes, with more AP classes than IB. Although the options are very approachable, the counselors often do a poor job explaining the benefits and drawbacks of the two programs. I am a junior in the IB program with an unweighted GPA of 3.8, but it took a lot two years to truly comprehend the difference in the academics offered at Lakewood. Finally, the Music and Arts Programs offered at Lakewood is one of it's strongest attributes. Three orchestras, four bands, four choirs, percussion, IB photography, AP Music theory, IB Music Theory, IB Theater, Ceramics, Woodworking, 2D Art, 3D Art, AP Art, IB Art, Art History and many more choices.
Lakewood High School is a wonderful building to be in with a diverse student body, supportive staff and faculty, and an inspiring school spirit. As a student myself, I've never felt more comfortable and accepted in a school building. The students are a group of passionate peers that I get to learn from on a daily basis, and the teachers are intent and focused on our education, but also our mental and physical health. Lakewood High School looks beyond the education system and ensures their students have a memorable high school experience that can prepare them for their futures.
