The principal is outstanding and the teachers/staff members that I have dealt with have 'can do' attitudes. They deliver consistent professional and positive attitudes and seem committed to helping each child do their best possible work. As to parental involvement, that's seems to need some improvement. As of January, 2011, our family has about 1 1/2 yrs. of experience with Locust Grove Elem. School.

Both my girls just started so this is their first year here, they previouly went to StoneyBrook. I really like the staff so far, they seem really helpful, caring, kind, understanding and considerate(Nurse, and Principal). However, I think the education was a lot better at StoneyBrook. The school is over all good, but they need to improve on their education. I had also noticed a difference in a small variety to choose from for lunch, and the building is nice but not as nice as StoneyBrook's. I would personally also like more contact with their teachers as well and a weekly log about what they are learning so I can help them if need be and just to know what they are learning about, although I do appreciate the behavior slips. The school is definatly better than a city school, but my opinion as a parent is that they also have a whole lot to improve on.

This school is absolutely amazing. My two children love it here. They have had wonderful teachers who truly care about their students. The current administration is nice and easy to talk to about things. I highly recommend LJM.
