We absolutely love Lamkin Elementary! From day one, we’ve been so impressed with how well the school communicates. We always know what’s going on and feel truly connected. The teachers are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in their students’ success. The staff overall is knowledgeable, professional, and always approachable, which makes such a difference. They also celebrate their students all the time!The administration is incredibly supportive, visible, and they genuinely care about both students and staff. You can feel the positive energy the moment you walk through the doors. They’re now a Capturing Kids’ Hearts Showcase School, too! Our kids absolutely love going to school every day!We feel so lucky to be part of a school community that values learning, kindness, communication, and teaching the whole child as much as this one does. Thank you, Lamkin!

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.

The staff is always motivated and ready to help no matter the situation. Lots of school pride as well.
