Lakewood Elementary School

Lakewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Elwood City which was founded in the 1950s. It is one of the fifteen schools in the city. In "April 9th", the school experienced a fire caused by an electrical malfunction, sending all the students to their rival school, Mighty Mountain. It was later restored and students were allowed to return. The exterior of Lakewood Elementary school is based on the school St Hubert Elemntary in Windsor Ontario crossed with a school in Montreal near the old Cinar Sudio.

Description
Lakewood Elementary School is a typical Kindergarten-5th Grade school that includes hallways, offices, classrooms, a cafeteria/auditorium, gymnasium, restrooms, and other various maintenance rooms and other areas that are typically found in elementary schools. The boys' restroom has counter sinks, toilet stalls, and urinals. The girls' restroom has counter sinks and toilet stalls. The exterior grounds include a playground and a baseball field. There are also bicycle racks immediately in front of the building where Arthur and his friends park their bicycles. In the early books, the interior of the school was shown most often shown, but the exterior was shown occasionally. The front doors of the school were originally located to the far right and had a half-circle window over the doors. In the cartoon and later books, the school was redesigned, and the front doors were moved to the very center and had a canopy right in front of the doors.

Trivia

 * In some of the episodes, some of the third grade students outside of Mr. Ratburn's class appear to be switched between Miss Sweetwater's and Mrs. Fink's classes and vice-versa.
 * One of the unidentified students name John appeared again in the episode The Long Road Home. John had apparently sponsored George in the episode, but John for some reason isn't seen in the episode.
 * Michelle Kwan graduated from Lakewood Elementary 9 years in "The Good Sport".  With some calculations with the year the episode premiered and including the time for producing the show.  She would have graduated from Lakewood as a grade 8 not a grade 5 making Lakewood a K-8 school.
