School Overview

Lakes High School sits in Lakewood, a working-class city just southwest of Tacoma with a strong military community presence thanks to nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The school shows solid footing in English but has room to grow in math, making it a reasonable fit for families who value a diverse, grounded school environment over a hyper-competitive academic scene. Families who appreciate a tight-knit community with easy access to Tacoma's growing arts and dining scene — without the higher cost of living closer to the city — tend to feel at home in this part of Pierce County.
