Both my kids attend Lamkin Elementary. They love it here. I have been able to partner with most of the teachers to ensure my kids had everything they needed in terms of support. Both my kids are GT and my oldest scored 100 percentile on STAAR (my youngest hasn't taken it yet). Which proves the teachers here are doing great. My kids are happy and well adjusted.

My daughter is on her first year at Spillane Middle. Within the first week she forgot her badge, right away it’s a $1 fine. No grace period, no letting the kids get use to wearing a badge, you pay them or the kid gets punished. A couple weeks later she forgot her badge at her mother’s house witch is over 20 miles away. You have to pay $5 for a new one and can’t reuse the old one once the new one is active, so if it’s lost or forgot again, it’s $5 again. Kids get automatic detention for being tardy in the mornings due to things like fatal crashes on highway 290 blocking the way to school. My daughter was 5 minutes late for the first time in 11 weeks of school and was put into detention for being stuck behind a fatal crash that was in the news and as of now the school refuses to remove or correct it. You are better off waiting to do a late check in or let the kid miss the day so they don’t get detention. My daughter was sent home from school due to have a 100 degree fever, which is fine. The problem was it was the last week of the 9 weeks and she had test. She has not been given a grade for her Science DPM and took a couple of days for her LA/RDG test grade to update from an “F” that the school gave her to the “A” that she truly earned. My daughter is an honor student and it’s hard to work with the school, I can only image how hard it is for kids already having a hard time with school. Spillane policies are very much put all effort into fines and punishments and no effort into understanding the kids. The school really needs to rethink how hard they are on the students and relax on some of the small stuff.

worst school I had ever attended, teachers are quite toxic and send exaggerated email parents about every single little thing. students dont care about each other and will not try to be friends with you at all. rude staff and new RIDICULOUS rules almost every year(the year when i moved they came with a "no headphones in the entire school" rule).
