Summary:

The city of Lockhart, Alabama has only one school, WS Harlan Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, WS Harlan Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in the Covington County school district or the state of Alabama.
