Lakewood High School has been named one of U.S. News & World Report's Best High Schools and a Silver Medalist for 2013! The magazine awards Gold, Silver and Bronze medals according to state proficiency standards and how well schools prepare students for college.

Overall, the nation's high schools are scored on student/teacher ratio, college readiness and math and reading scores. More than 21,000 schools were evaluated and the schools scoring in the top 25% overall make the list.

"This recognition is a testament to the continuous efforts made to challenge our students to their maximum potential and constantly encourage them to reach for constantly higher goals," Principal Bill Wagner said. "We are very thankful for the parent and community support we receive in Lakewood that amplify these efforts and look forward to achieving the “Gold Award” soon."
