Palm Bay SDA School and Early Childhood Center

All three of my children attended here , Kindergarten through 6th grade and had a wonderful, successful experience led by highly qualified, compassionate teachers and staff. Best school EVER!

My eldest daughter was at a different school in Palm Bay. Repeatedly I went to her teacher & requested help. I didn't get anywhere. I then turned to the councilor. I was asked, if we were on free or reduced lunch. When I responded by saying no. I was told they would have to see what they could do for my daughter. I called back several times & got no where. I went up the ladder to the principal & every time was asked the same question. Every time I didn't receive help for my daughter educationally. It was extremely refreshing when I came to Lockmar. We came here and have never been asked if we were approved for free or reduced lunch. A students ability to receive services/accommodations should not be determined gaged by their families income level. My daughter has an amazing support system here at Lockmar. The teachers listen to what my daughter has to say. Over the past four years they have worked with us to teach her strategies to work through her learning challenges. If something didn't work then they have worked with us to brainstorm to find something that would work for my daughter. Our lives have been truly blessed by the teachers, staff & management at Lockmar Elementary. We will miss all the teachers when she moves on to middle school a year from now.

Ashley Toll is the rudest condescending principle. She is unprofessional and rude. If she is rude to the parents.... Can you imagine how she treats the students? She needs to get off her high horse and start doing something about the bullying and fighting going on at the school. This was my children's first year at this school because we are new palm bay residents. Such a horrible experience. I will be removing my children asap from this school.

Excellent school! The teachers are dedicated and the school raised it's state grade from D to B in one year!

We have been very pleased with how our children have been taught here. They really care about the students, and have direct intervention when needed. Administration is top notch! It starts there and you can tell the teachers care. I love that it is a PBIS school. The positive behavior support is evident.

All three of my children graduated from CCS. They took many AP courses and got into the colleges of their choice. They developed strong friendships and a strong faith. I would highly recommend CCS.
