Lakewood Elementary School

The attendance zone covers south St. Petersburg roughly around the Lakewood Estates subdivision and the Pink Streets area — the corridor of 33705 between the Lakewood High School campus and Tampa Bay. The Pink Streets neighborhood (one of St. Pete's best-known residential pockets) sits immediately adjacent. For address-specific confirmation, use the Pinellas County Schools boundary tool at pcsb.org or ask Ben to run your address.

The magnet is a District Application Program through PCSB open to students in the South County Application Area — not limited to the attendance zone. Applications go through the Student Assignment Office (StudentAssignment@pcsb.org, 727-588-6210), typically with a winter application window for the following school year. Acceptance is not guaranteed; apply early. Details at pcsb.org/DAP.

Homes in the 33705 zip code (south St. Pete, which includes the Lakewood Elementary zone and adjacent Pink Streets) were selling at a median around K as of early 2026 — up from the prior year. Single-family bungalows in the Pink Streets area trade in the K–K range depending on condition and lot size. South St. Pete is one of the more accessible price points in the metro. See the Pink Streets neighborhood guide for more context, or ask Ben for a zone-filtered list.

Lakewood Elementary has the standard Pinellas County Schools safety posture — controlled campus access, a School Resource Officer program, and a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) framework that earned it Florida Model School recognition. The broader south St. Pete area has varied safety profiles by block; the Lakewood Estates and Pink Streets corridors are generally quieter residential streets. As with any St. Pete neighborhood, a few blocks can make a difference — ask Ben about specific blocks if you're narrowing a home search.

Bay Vista Fundamental (1.2 miles away, 8/10 GreatSchools) is the high-performing alternative in the immediate area — a fundamentals program with a structured academic focus and one of the strongest ratings in south St. Pete. Lakewood Elementary's draw is the Creative Arts, Health & Wellness magnet: if your child thrives in arts-integrated learning, the programs are genuinely different. For purely academic metrics, Bay Vista scores higher. For arts integration and creative curriculum, Lakewood is the south St. Pete option. Both require application for out-of-zone students.
