My granddaughter attended Lamar County Primary for kindergarten. She is medically diagnosed ADHD and mildly on the Autism spectrum. If her work was not completely finished during the school day, she was kept inside from recess AND was not allowed to go to specials (music, PE, etc.). Not only did the teacher admit to this in a meeting which I attended, the class paraprofessional wrote it in my granddaughter's agenda more than once. Worse, the school administration backed the teacher in the meeting. The parents asked that any unfinished work be sent home and assured the teacher it would be completed, but she continued withholding recess instead. The teacher, principal, and assistant principal were defensive, rude and combative during the meeting. They refused to consider my granddaughter for an IEP or even a 504 plan because her diagnosis was not affecting her academics, but their academic standards were incredibly low. The class had twenty seven students in it; way too many for kindergarten. It was a miserable year that ended with my granddaughter hating school. Lamar County Schools might be fine if you have an average student, but it is definitely not the place for special ed or gifted students. It would appear that they cannot accommodate anything outside the norm.
