, a neighboring school district, agreed to take Lakewood's high school aged students. In 1958, the original Lakewood School building was demolished and a new campus was built consisting of two wings and eight classrooms. An additional eleven classrooms were added with constructions in 1962 and 1966. In 1972, a new Lakewood Junior High was built, serving grades 7–9, and the previous campus was renamed Lakewood Elementary School
, serving K-6. Two years after its construction in 1982, the new Lakewood Jr/Sr High School graduated its first senior class. The Lakewood Junior High building became part of the Lakewood Elementary School campus. Due to rising enrollment numbers, in 1989 the 1972 campus was once again split off and renamed Lakewood Intermediate School, serving grades 4–6. This left the original 1958 campus as the Lakewood Primary School, serving grades K-3. In 1995, the school district completed the construction of English Crossing Elementary
(grades 3–5), as well as an additional wing next to the Intermediate School, which was renamed and reorganized into Lakewood Middle School
(grades 6–8). Lakewood Jr/Sr High School was accordingly renamed simply Lakewood High School
, and now only housed grades 9–12. In 2002, the most recent addition to the district, Cougar Creek Elementary
was completed, adding capacity and becoming the only traditional K-5 school in the district. That changed in 2011, when a reorganization had all three elementary schools serving all grades K-5.
