I heard that Lakewood was based off of a school somewhere in Ontario. Me and everyone on the wiki were never able to verify it though until now I guess.
Dear MC CJ- I don't want to confirm or mislead you on this point until it's a fact. I'll try to find the answer to it and post what I find.

Oh it's okay. We've been debating about where Lakewood was based off of for a while now. I heard it was somewhere in Ontario that the school was based off of. I forgot what site it was, but that was one of my guesses.
