“Lockhart Elementary is an OCPS public school serving Pre-K through 5th grade in the historic Lockhart neighborhood of northwest Orlando — one of Orange County's oldest school campuses, rebuilt in 2015 while preserving its original 1936 WPA-era brick character.”
Lockhart Elementary sits on Edgewater Drive in the unincorporated Lockhart community, about 8 miles northwest of downtown Orlando. The campus was originally built in 1936 under Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration and rebuilt in 2015 — the school retained its brick exterior and converted original building sections into on-site museum space, giving it a sense of place unusual for a Central Florida elementary school. Students here feed into Lockhart Middle School's STEM-focused program and then on to Edgewater High School, creating a connected K–12 corridor all within the same northwest Orlando neighborhood.

What makes it stand out
The campus history is the distinguishing characteristic: the 1936 WPA-era building, rebuilt in 2015, gives Lockhart Elementary a physical connection to northwest Orlando's past that most Florida elementary schools lack. Students inherit a sense of neighborhood continuity. The K–12 feeder chain — Lockhart Elementary → Lockhart Middle (STEM focus) → Edgewater High (IB/magnet, 6/10 GreatSchools) — is the clearest academic pathway in this part of the district.

The Lockhart neighborhood on Edgewater Drive is an established residential community with a mix of longtime and newer families. The school's chronic absenteeism rate (roughly 31–36%) is elevated above district averages, which is common in schools serving higher-need populations but is worth noting as you evaluate the school environment.
How does Lockhart Elementary compare to other OCPS elementary schools nearby?
Lockhart Elementary's 2/10 GreatSchools rating reflects below-average state test scores — 32% of students at or above proficiency in math and reading versus a Florida average of about 50–52%. Keep in mind these ratings index strongly on test scores, which correlate with socioeconomic factors. The school's feeder path to Edgewater High School (6/10 GreatSchools, IB programs) is a meaningful long-term consideration. Families prioritizing a higher test-score elementary in the northwest Orlando corridor may consider OCPS school choice options; ocps.net/school-choice has the current program list.
