My wife and I currently reside in a three bedroom home zoned to Lakewood Elementary. We purchased the house in part because of the great reviews of the school. Our daughter will begin elementary school in less than two years and we're beginning to think about a new home as we fear we may outgrow this one. Does anyone have any experience with Lakewood or the newly named Mockingbird (previously Stonewall Jackson) Elementary? Is one preferable to the other and if so, why? We may expand our home search to include both these zones.

Thanks!

My wife is the Assistant Principal at Lakewood, so I'm a little biased. We don't have kids yet, but from my two years of volunteering there and hearing about it from my wife it's a great school. She also has good things to say about Mockingbird Elementary.

I'm not sure what to take from this??

Bumping this. Daughter #2 has arrived so we're getting more serious about moving. Thanks for the advice!

Just went through kinder at Lakewood for our first.

She really likes it and looking forward to first. We know a lot of kids who go to Lee as well. Someone said above, both are good.

We lived in m streets and moved to Lakewood 5 years ago. We do like the neighborhood better.

We have kids at Lakewood. Thus far, great experience all around. We were in your shoes several years ago. Chose to buy a bigger house for growing family, and opted for Lakewood Elem over Mockingbird.
