School Overview

Lakewood High sits in the heart of Lakewood, one of those classic postwar Southern California suburbs where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community pride still feel very much alive. The school draws families who are rooted in the neighborhood and value a traditional high school experience, though academics tend to be closer to average compared to other schools in Los Angeles County, with science being the relative standout. For families planting roots in Lakewood's affordable, community-oriented corner of the greater Long Beach area, it's a school that reflects the working-class character of the neighborhood it serves.
