Lakehurst Elementary School

My daughter has enjoyed all her teachers here at Lakehurst. I also thought they were very helpful. The Child Study team is great.

I feel Lakehurst Elementary has done well with my children thus far. My only complaint is they do not give advanced children enough to keep them busy. I had asked for my daughter to be assessed to move up a grade and was blown off. Of course, this maybe a state level issue therefore I don't hold the school accountable except for the fact they could have communicated that to me. Halfway through the year she became bored and uninterested in school. This would be a great school if your child performs at the average level.

I must say that Lakehurst ELM is one of the nicer schools I've seen around a military base. However.... I have some issues with some of their policy's. First off... I believe it's grades K-2 that line up outside the school in the morning before they can file into their classes. I wouldn't think anything of it except there is no shelter from the elements, no fence to keep them from darting into the street, and just a few adults to moniter. Detention is a joke. Verry haphazard. students sit where they can in the main office. Parent-Admin communication is a zero. The only special needs teacher they have does the best they can, but the program could be better. Over all, I give the school a two.

We have been very happy with Lakehurst School. They work best with 'mainstream' children but do the best they can with all children. Most of the teachers seem caring and involved. The administration has worked very nicely with us. There is a brand new Principle this year so we shall see how that goes.

In general, the teachers at this school are interested in the welfare of the children, both academically, emotionally, and physically.

I have two children in lakehurst school. Both of my children are hearing disabled. Lakehurst school has provided my children with all the assistance they need to have a great education. With children who wear hearing aides like mine, back ground noise is a big issue. The school has installed audio systems in the classrooms with children with hearing disabilities. This system, along with the hearing aids, makes life for my children and their teachers easier. The child study team is great. Not only have they helped my children, but they have provided me with assistance on different issues. I would just like to say what a great school lakehurst is. They are concerned with what is best for the students, and help them in any way they can. They promote independence, individuality, and respect among the students,parents, and teachers. I would highly recommend this school. It's a great school
