Lakewood El, Euless TX - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Lakewood El

Lakewood Elementary serves prekindergarten through sixth grade in Euless, a mid-sized suburb between Dallas and Fort Worth that has experienced periods of growth and is now stabilizing in population. The school draws from a diverse, economically mixed community where a substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The enrollment spans all eight grade bands from pre-K through sixth grade and is composed of roughly equal shares of Hispanic and Black students, with White students and Asian students also well represented.

On state assessments, Lakewood's results show a mixed profile across grades and subjects. In math, proficiency varies considerably: third graders reach a solid level of achievement, fourth graders perform at a lower point, fifth graders recover to a respectable level, and sixth graders remain steady. English language arts shows a different pattern, with third and fifth graders performing above the median, fourth graders below it, and sixth graders returning to stronger performance. The school administered a science test in fifth grade, where proficiency was notably below math and ELA levels. When averaging across all tested subjects and grades, Lakewood sits in the top quartile among Tarrant County schools' proficiency index, a position that reflects strength relative to other elementary schools in its county context.

The trend data available covers only the current year, so growth over time cannot be assessed. The broad proficiency measure across all subjects shows that roughly half of students met or exceeded the proficiency standard, while about a third reached the highest mastery level. In ELA specifically, proficiency rates were somewhat higher, and in math somewhat lower. The school's performance does not include overall proficiency figures for the elementary grades below third, as Texas does not administer state assessments in pre-K through second grade.

Lakewood's student body reflects Euless's economic diversity. The share of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch meals is above the national average, which often correlates with schools serving families navigating economic constraints. The school's location in the city's residential areas places it within a community oriented toward highway corridors and shopping centers rather than a dense downtown; parks and trails provide recreational anchors nearby.

The school sits within Hurst-Euless-Bedford Independent School District, a regional entity serving three cities. District-level strategic changes or recent initiatives were not available within research scope, so families may want to ask the district directly about curriculum priorities, professional development efforts, or facility investments that might affect school operations.

Lakewood's position in the top quartile of county proficiency suggests it is performing above average for its region, though the considerable variation between grades and subjects indicates that some grade levels face stronger headwinds than others. A parent considering Lakewood might usefully look into what specific interventions or supports the school offers for fourth-grade math and fifth-grade science, where results dipped most noticeably.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
