Description

Lakewood Elementary School appears to be a kindergarten to fourth 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.

In Arthur's Number Nightmare a seating chart for each class of the school is seen. It reveals unnamed characters who's names are below. Their grades are also unknown. Note that none of these characters are in Mr. Ratburn's Class. The name Frances appears in the episode, Castles in the Sky. It appeared on a posted note underneath a bowl of oranges. The note said "Vote Frances for Student Council" The name Frances appeared prior to the episode Arthur's Number Nightmare. A few more names were revealed in the episode, Grandma Thora Appreciation Day.

  • Jennifer
  • Frances [5]
  • Willy
  • Carol
  • Richard
  • Sharon
  • Alex
  • Dawn
  • Mark
  • LL & OT[6]

Athletics

Lakewood competes in at least five sports.

  • Soccer (main article here)
  • Baseball (main article here)
  • Track and Field (main article here)
  • Basketball (main article here)
  • Hockey (main article here)

They might have a Football team because in "Arthur's Baby" Arthur, Binky and other characters are playing. It appears that Mr. Marco is their coach. The students also compete in a bowling tournament against Mighty Mountain in "Francine's Split Decision".

Events

(unfinished--please add)

Lakewood Elementary has hosted many events and festivals.

Contests

(unfinished--please add)

Lakewood Elementary occasionally holds contests to allow students to show off their abilities. Sometimes, these contests advance students to a greater level of competition, such as the checkers competition in "A is for Angry."

  • Spell-a-thon
  • Math-a-thon
  • Arithmattack
  • Kids Cooking Contest
  • Interscholastic Checkers Competition

Activities

(unfinished--please add)

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.
    • This would make sense, because there are no middle schools shown in the Arthur series.
