Locke Hill Elementary School

Great Teachers and Great Staff. Everyone at this school is so helpful

This school is more worried about policies and money instead of the child’s education.

Two years ago I had three children that were at Lockhill. I found the school to have greatly skewed priorities mostly guided by the principle Cathy Cowen. The administration will allow a disruptive child to highjack classes for an entire year while being unaccommodating to reasonable requests to assist the learning of children. They are a do nothing administration that will consistently look for a reason to not take action rather than look for a reason to accommodate what is best for the students. Their ultimate goal is to grind children through the system while treating them all like automatons rather than treating them like individuals with varying needs. It was so bad I had to remove my two eldest children and home school them.

Though it is an older campus and nestled along side a few economically challenged areas, the principal and staff make this campus superior to many other schools. They encourage their students. They value parent involvement, and have many activities for their students some of which allow parents to attend. My sons have gone here for a year. It's not too big, and not too small. The teaching staff have all been wonderful. They genuinely love their students. They don't allow misbehavior by excepting respect for others and participation from each student. I trust them to ensure my child is learning not just academia, but also overseeing life lessons which will determine their later successes.
