I have 2 children who went to Lockhurst. It is a great school, great administrative staff, wonderful teachers and A VERY involved PTSA. All the teachers my children had were very open and receptive with my family. I'm sorry certain parents feel the PTSAA is an elitist group as the door is always open.
... Read more We constantly court parents, but again, its the same 10-15 parents who show up, which is a shame for a school of over 450 children. When I first starting attending PTSA meetings, I didn't know any of the active members, but soon became friendly and saw how hard they work to make Lockhurst a great school. Go to a meeting, get involved - become a part of this ELITE group and see how much you can add to your child's education. Read less

I have three children that either have, are or will be attending Lockhurst. For all the years, we have attended this school, we have also seen the good, the bad and the ugly; however, not staff, faculty, children or PTSA but by parents who do not volunteer to help but instead complain about something
... Read more they are not getting or put the blame on something else. Our PTSA works hard on the front lines & behind the scenes to raise money, provide enrichment and push for our kids to have a better education. They can't do it alone. It is the same devoted parents that show up to meetings or help at events and give of themselves. I am not sure where the elitist attitudes come into play as there has always been a sincere heart & open door - you just have to want to make the effort. Read less

My son has been at Lockhurst for 5 years. I have seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. The principal's positive attitude and good sense have done wonders for this school, even though the parents are accustomed to badmouthing everything. A positive attitude adopted by the parents could go far here!
... Read more The parents from this school present as quite spoiled and insincere and this attitude filters right down to the disrespectful behavior of the kids. The PTSA is not inviting, due to the elitist nature of the parents. The office staff are not inviting and for the most part do not want to be bothered. The best thing the school has to offer are the incredibly caring Special Education teachers, a few sincerely dedicated parents, a great after school enrichment program with a lot of variety in classes, an inviting campus, and an outstanding library and librarian.

I am completely floored by the parents who say this is a great school. Their standards must be a whole lot lower than mine. The office staff could not be less friendly or unhelpful. The principle is one of the most insincere, disingenuous people I've ever met. The kids are so ill-behaved and unmotivated
... Read more that barely any learning takes place and they create a completely inhospitable environment for the few kids who do want to learn. I do like my kids' teachers and feel that they have a real passion for teaching. They'd do great teaching kids that came to school ready and willing to learn. Also, I second the review of the parent who took her child out do to lack of a GATE program. There is none. Read less

I moved my child out of this school because there was no GATE program to speak of. If you ask them they will say they have it, but when you investigate it further you will find nothing structured. My child is going into 4th grade at a school that does have a GATE program and I am unhappy to find that
... Read more she is a bit behind and won't be in any of the GATE classes right off the bat. Read less

My son has been going to to Lockhurst for a year now. I am concerned that Lockhurst has not been able to increase their API's, their scores have been reducing and it is definitely a matter of concern. I think the Principal should take this seriously and try and work towards increasing the school's API

We have been attending Lockhurst for the last six years. It is an amazing school. They have the best teachers, a great PTSA, and wonderful front office staff. My oldest son will be moving on to middle school in September. Lockhurst has given my son the tools he will need for the upper grade levels.
