This is a school with big city curriculum but small town values.

Greenville ISD continues to struggle with mediocrity especially at the MS and HS levels. The administration lacks fire and this is reflected in the teaching staff. They continue to whine about money thinking that is the cure all but the ISD is more that adequately funded and most want to see results prior to pouring more money into a sinking ship.

My children are growing and learning every day at Lamar. The teachers care about every student and work to provide the best education possible for them. Thankful to live in a great school district!

Travis is overcrowded with both students and staff that don't care. There are few staff that actually care and make a difference, but as a whole this schools theme is "get them in & out." The squeaky wheel gets the oil in this district , leaving the ones who are there to learn yearning for more. The counselor, Mrs.Godwin is a caring counselor who gives above and beyond to make the kids feel loved and important. This is very important inside a school that is over focused on state testing beyond what the students truly need on a daily basis. My son had 3 years of over looked bullying while in this school. The GISD district is not helping to bring our kids up as successful members of the community & instead encouraging bad behavior with their lack of control inside the school walls. I can only pray that the GISD will get a principal in there that will put the kids needs first and make a change.

As someone who attended through the 21-22 school year my experience here was terrible teachers could barely teach especially in the b class courses if you had failed a staar test just handing you packets instead of teaching and the relentless bullying which I myself was a victim of over my disability the teachers did nothing about it and would only get the victim in trouble if they ended up yelling at the bullies etc. The staff also was rather cruel at the time I'm not sure if they are anymore other than the sped teacher case that happened recently One time I got in trouble for something that wasn't even possible to do on school computers and that I never did and I was threatened to be taken to the nearest Juvenile detention center due to it they also showed no remorse when I started crying due to the yelling and threats etc. Claiming "oh stop your boohooing" after that incident I was never able to trust staff again and dealt with tons of mental issues that no one would help with in this horrid school. Whatever you do reconsider bringing your child to this middle school. Bathrooms were also in terrible condition and were never fixed and constantly closing due to a "trend"
