"School is just like relaxing, only with desks." – Alan Powers, pbskids.org/arthur

Lakewood Elementary School is a public elementary school founded in the 1950's that Arthur and his friends attend. It is one of 15 schools in Elwood City. In April 9th the school was damaged in a fire that was caused by faulty electrical wiring, sending all the students to their rival school, Mighty Mountain. It was later restored, sending its students back there.

Description

Lakewood Elementary School is a typical Kindergarten-5th Grade school that features hallways, offices, classrooms, a cafeteria/auditorium, gymnasium, restrooms, and anything else that would be in your average school. The boys' restroom has counter sinks, toilet stalls, and urinals. The girls' restroom has counter sinks and toilet stalls. On the outside, there is a playground and a baseball field. There are also bicycle racks right 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 of the time, 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.
