Lakewood Elementary is now a B-rated school! Lakewood Elementary School moved up a letter grade, which is largely based on last spring’s ACT Aspire results. The school has returned to the letter grade that it had before COVID-19.
But speaking to their students, staff, and administrators, they won’t be satisfied until they get an A.
