Lockhart is a wonderful school! The teachers are experienced, and can handle all kinds of students. Principal Zoller is very supportive of the teachers, and communicates well with parents. My child has some social/behavior issues, and has thrived there. Her teachers have taken our input seriously in the classroom, and given us great suggestions things we can do at home. She has lots of friends now, and is doing well academically and socially. Because of how the classes are structured, kids can do advanced work in the subjects they excel in, and get help in subjects they struggle with every day in their classroom, so they aren't singled out by going to special classes. They take bullying seriously, and work with the parents to resolve problems as they arise, rather than ignoring them until they get out of hand. Like most schools in this area it's diverse, which we love!

As a former student here, please trust me, don't ever go here. Some of my teachers were overly rude and, for some reason, had a grudge against me. I remember I asked one of my math teachers if my answer was right, and she started shaming me in front of the entire class in a loud voice. Not only that, one of the teachers literally sent me OUT of the classroom for ¨Talking¨ while he was talking, which by the way, wasn't me! I remember I was wandering the halls crying because I didn't know where to go. He didn't even tell me to go to the office; he just told me flat out to get out of his classroom. Some other teachers are alright, but it's very apparent they don't care about their students and really don't " teach " us; they just give us a worksheet and tell us to use Google. The bullying in this school is terrible, and the staff refused to really do anything, even though I reported the same person 3-4 times for bullying and harassing me. Not to mention the fact that teachers have clear favoritism towards students. Overall, PLEASE send your kids to any other school! Because this one is terrible!!!!!

As a former teacher at RHS , I wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. With the majority of the students below grade level, all the admin care about is passing students along and getting bonuses by making students take tests and courses they don't even need. Behavior problems are out of control. Students fight, do drugs, have sex, vandalize, do a lot of other inappropriate things daily on campus. The bathrooms are usually closed because of vandalism. More time, money, and focus is spent on kids who don't want to be there than kids who want to learn. These kids get left behind.There are so many classes without certified teachers. The overall morale is so low. The principal micromanages the staff. The office sectretaries are rude to staff, parents, and students. The overall safety of the school is a daily concern. Teachers are given an impossible work load with no restroom or lunch breaks and a ridiculous amount of duties, after hour meetings, and mandatory evening and weekend events without any compensation.There is definitely a racial division in the school and the principal tends to side with students and staff of his race.I wouldn't be surprised if this school had to suddenly shut down because so many staff members quit.This has to be the worst school I've ever taught at in NC.
