LOCKWOOD SPECL. EDUC. COOP.

LOCKWOOD SPECL. EDUC. COOP. is a public school that is part of the LAMAR R-I school district, located in LOCKWOOD, MO with about 42 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. With about 5 teachers, LOCKWOOD SPECL. EDUC. COOP. has a student/teacher ratio of about 8:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Lockwood Special Education Cooperative**, located at 208 E. 5th Street in Lockwood, Missouri, serves as a centralized administrative and resource hub dedicated to providing specialized educational services for students with unique learning needs. As a cooperative, the organization functions to pool resources, professional staff, and expertise across multiple school districts to ensure that students receiving special education services have access to high-quality, individualized instruction and support systems that might otherwise be difficult for a single district to manage independently.

The facility operates in accordance with state and federal mandates to facilitate compliance, assessments, and the implementation of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). By coordinating efforts between local schools and educational specialists, the cooperative aims to foster an inclusive environment where students can achieve their academic and personal goals. Further information regarding their specific programs, staff contact details, and service regions can be found on their official website at [www.bdjcoop.org](http://www.bdjcoop.org).
