Lochburn Middle School

Posted October 19, 2009

I went to Lochburn last year. I was one of the 8th grade-co presidents, and very involved in the school. While it definitely has its flaws, I think it is a much better school than its reputation portrays it to be. Many teachers are very earnest in their effort to make sure as many students as possible succeed. The administration (for the most part) tries very hard to keep the school in check. Mrs Wilson, the principal is a really great principal, who honestly cares about all students' success. The cultural diversity is spectacular, and shocking, considering most of the country would never allow the mixing Lochburn does. Most students pay no mind to ethnic heritage, when choosing their friends. The thing about Lochburn that makes it great, though, are the students and many of their involvement.

when my son went to Lochburn for his junior year, He was all excited about embarking on a new journey in his life that would prepare him for his high school years, but instead my son grades began to drop, he was label by staff , and he did not have any support.the way My child was treated by staff at lockburn is unexceptionable and I feel that someone need to really pay close attention to their child , so that will not be treated like my child was treated at lockburn. I know that that their are others parent with the same story that I have about their child junior years at lockburn middle school However, Education is not just for some students , It fall all student, and each and ever one of the student that attend Lochburn middle school should have the opportunity to feel care for.

I went to Lochburn as a child and of course my child now goes to Lochburn. I would of thought by now that things at this school would have been changed for the better but it has changed but for the worse. The Principals leadership skills and actions taken in all events that have been seen have been appalling. He is the worst Principal by far that I have had the pleasure to meet. The Vice Principal on the other hand seems to be far more intelligent and seems to be far better when it comes to dealing with the children. I personally do not trust this principal with my child and plan on changing schools for my child if this principal remains at this school.

I believe the quality of education is exceptional considering the innercity enviornment and community from which our students live. One might assume that socioeconomic conditions dictate the level of academics in most innercity schools, however I believe the students can learn and are motivated to achieve when Educators teach with passion and never give up on students. This is the case at Lochburn. We have a diversified student body that face many challenges in school, whether its ELL, Special Needs etc, which is a relative norm in our society today. The Educators here do a superb job attending to the needs of students and support them in various ways. The students realize we are sincere in our efforts to provide them the best education possible. The Programs offered serve as stimulates for student involvement. We have a variety of activities that benefit the students in aspects of Leadership, Organization, and Socializaation.
