Lakewood Elementary School appears to be a kindergarten to fifth 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. There is no fifth grade mentioned throughout the series so far, which raises assumption that there is none, but it is not known for sure. 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. | Lakewood Elementary School appears to be a kindergarten to fifth 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.
