Lakewood Local School District

What Lakewood Local School District does

Lakewood Local School District is a public K-12 school district headquartered at 525 E. Main Street, Hebron, Ohio, serving more than 1,800 students from Pre-K through 12th grade across five schools: Lakewood Preschool, Lakewood Elementary School, Jackson Intermediate School, Lakewood Middle School, and Lakewood High School. The district is governed by an elected five-member Board of Education (Jonathan Lynch as President) and operates as a government state entity under Ohio law. Academic offerings include the standard Ohio K-12 curriculum plus Advanced Placement, College Credit Plus, ACT/SAT preparation, and a workforce readiness program preparing students for two- or four-year degrees, apprenticeships, work placement, or military service. Supporting departments include Transportation (using the SafeRoutz parent portal), Food Services, Special Services (including Title IX compliance), Facilities, and Teaching and Learning.

The district's technology footprint is built on standard commercial K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems: SafeRoutz for bus registration and routing, Progress Book for student grade tracking, Naviance for college and career readiness, and Finalsite as the website CMS (Finalsite.net). Communications rely on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, and email newsletters, with Board of Education meetings streamed via Facebook Live. Open enrollment applications and transcript requests are processed through Google Forms.

Revenue is derived entirely from public funding streams — primarily local property taxes, Ohio state education funding, and federal grants — with no tuition charged to resident students. Specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed on the district's website. Operational governance is supplemented by community partnerships with the Lakewood Education Foundation, the Licking County and Buckeye Lake Region Chambers of Commerce, the Licking County Educational Service Center, and the Ohio School Boards Association. In 2026, the district underwent senior leadership transitions, hiring Dr. Heather Hedgepeth as Superintendent (effective August 1, 2026) and Rich Porter as Athletic Director.
