Lakewood School District is located in the state of Washington, about fifteen miles north of Everett. The District encompasses twenty-three square miles of rural/suburban countryside nestled between the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound, and is surrounded by farmland and seven lakes. Our District is comprised of five school sites and several support facilities. The total enrollment for the District is approximately 2,300 students. We currently employ approximately 135 certificated staff and about 140 classified staff. With a population of about 8,700, Lakewood retains the closeness of a small country community, yet has ready access to the larger metropolitan areas of Seattle and Everett. In addition to a strong basic educational core curriculum that correlates well with the Common Core State Standards, Lakewood schools offer a variety of unique educational programs that provide for the specific needs of ALL students. The District strives to ensure that the best educational environment is provided for each student to reach his/her potential academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. Some of these programs include: - Early Childhood Education programs - Career and Technical Education - Online Credit Retrieval Summer School - Special Education - Enrichment and Challenge Programs - Advanced Placement Courses (College Level) & college in the High School Courses - Running Start & Sno-Isle Skills Center In 2014, Lakewood School District #306 celebrated its 100th anniversary. With an enrollment of over 2,300 students today, we have grown considerably from 70 original students in 1914. We are a small district, going big places!
