Where will my student attend school?
-
Students attend school based on where they live. See our boundary map to determine your elementary student's assigned school. All secondary-age students attend Lakewood Middle School (6-8) and Lakewood High School (9-12).
If a student wishes to attend a school that does not serve the area of his/her residence, parents must request a variance. Learn more about Variances and Choice Transfers.
