School Overview

Holmes Elementary sits in the heart of Lakewood, one of those quietly solid Southern California communities where tree-lined streets and well-kept ranch homes give off a genuinely neighborly feel. The school performs well above average across the board, making it a strong choice for families who want reliable academics without the pressure-cooker intensity of some higher-profile districts. Long Beach Unified is a large, resource-rich district, and Holmes benefits from that infrastructure while still maintaining the close-knit feel of a neighborhood elementary school.
