Friends of Lakewood Schools is an Ohio nonprofit organization formed to support and advocate for the long-term success of the Lakewood City School District. Lakewood is the most densely populated city in Ohio and is home to a high-quality, modern, walkable neighborhood-based school system that is unparalleled across the country. We work to educate stakeholders and raise awareness of the uniqueness and value of Lakewood Schools and the role they play in the future of the Lakewood community.

 

    We represent all stakeholders within the Lakewood community, including students, faculty, parents, residents, local business owners and taxpayers, who believe that Lakewood Schools can become a national leader and a model for outstanding public education.  A key function of Friends of Lakewood Schools is to promote and advocate for strategic planning, good governance, community engagement and accountability within the Lakewood Schools and by the Lakewood Board of Education.  We work to raise awareness to the community, ensure accountability and create opportunities for engagement.  

 

    We are a non-partisan, local non-profit formed by Lakewood residents who care about the future of Lakewood and its children.  We expect that much work is in store for our organization and our community this Fall 2025.  With our collective efforts, we know that a brighter future is possible for our children and our community.
